I am looking for a motherboard that has a lot of PCI slots. the tower I have has 7 expansion slots. What motherbaord should I look at? I am putting a Intel Duo 2 Core processor in the computer and a GForce video card too.

what do you mean by 'alot of pci slots', with PCI-e x1, 32bit PCI will slowly probably surely be replaced soon.
Most recent desktop motherboards usually have 3, and at most 4 PCI slots. Usually 1 or 2 pci-e x1, and 1 or 2 pci-e x16.Jack of all trades, master of none -

You know you dont NEED to have 7 slots right? Would you really use them all?A+, MCP(270,290), CCNA 2008.

ditto, I find that 3 PCI is usually more than enough, RAID controller, second NIC, Modem card...*maybe* one more for remote control if you're that crazy and need it in your home.
dont be...work hard, and yours is just around the corner. Perhaps work on Network+/Server+ first before your 291, cause you still need it for MCSA, right?Cessation wrote:wow big horn im so jealous of your 291!

I will end up working on and finishing my 291. But for now i am studying 294. After 294 I will go back to 291, 293, 297 and possibly 298.
Wow, that seems like forever..A+, MCP(270,290), CCNA 2008.
