| 218939 | 2004-02-29 02:57:00 | Ok so i have a motherboard, and it's great, new, etc. It's the asus a7v600. I want to buy the Gigabye ga-7nnxp, which is better in EVERY WAY EXCEPT that it has one less pci slot. Sure, this is pathetic, but can you convince me that i dont need that extra pci slot, and that buying the new motherboard (with the 5 pci slots and not 6) will be a wise decision? PLEASE? |

| 218941 | 2004-02-29 03:47:00 | Only you know how many PCI slots you need ?:| | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 218942 | 2004-02-29 03:59:00 | You will find that most new motherboards tend to have a lot of onboard features that would of once taken up a PCI slot. Go for the motherboard that you really want - one less PCI slot will not make a difference. | Jen C (20) | ||

| 218946 | 2004-04-10 07:06:00 | I'm considering a few with three. I don't need a single one :p Thus, I find that an excess of functions can cause more hassles.. my personal opinion though... :D All depends on how much you think and know you need... |

If you manage to corrupt the main BIOS, the back-up BIOS can take over and also this allows online updating (the @BIOS utility) as it flashes the second BIOS and boots from that on restart. Peace of Mind :) |

I think that's how it works... not sure on the exact detail! Lo. |
