Is there anyway I can check which slots on my motherboard I have without opening it up?

RTFM!!!!

if u dont know what it means....Read The Fookin Manual!

if u dont have it, go to a manufacturer website and download it, it will tell u which slots and how many u have. its usually in "Support and drivers"

or post it here(the manufacturer and model number) and someone will give u a link or whatever

Is that a safe site to go to? I am always weary of letting someone scan my puter.

CPU-Z

Download, unzip to a directory, run cpuz.exe, click the "Mainboard" tab.

Yep, CPU-Z is a very good utility to have.

Another good one for detailed information regarding the various components of your system is PC Wizard. Last I used saw it was still a free utility and it gives out details of the various compenents to such a level that I'm not even sure who'd need half that information!

But chances are it'll tell you what you want to know as well.

there is that little trick of mixing white lampblack with some transister grease (from radio shack) and applying pressure just right

Must you ruin every thread that you post in?

No, there is not. Your board either has it or it doesn't.

EiS · Mar 19, 2006, 03:48 AM // 03:48

Even tho its not the best name brand but almost all the reviews on it have been good is the ASRock 939 Dual SATA2 mobo it has both AGP and PCI-E ports they also have a Intel Version too i just forgot the name of it

They do have converters but its for PCI-E to AGP not the other way around so you can put a AGP card on to a PCI-E MoBo
