I need to know something. I think I might be getting a new pc soon, and this motherboard is in it.
Can I plug an actual video card into it? Or do I need to use the onboard video? I really haven't got a clue. D:

    If you can afford it, buy the 260 instead of the 9600 - even BETTER performance/cost ratio. Also, check www.slickdeals.net DAILY for decent video card deals.

    A 260 over a 4850? I thought as it stands ATI is king of performance/cost.

    If you're using NewEgg, can you post your WishList or the parts? I'm curious to see what you got for $390.
