I would appreciate some help on this.  What do I look for in the board
spec's to get one that fits?

Thanks.

You motherboard will only accept AGP 4x cards as per
http://www.asus.com/999/html/events/mb/socket478/p4b533-e/overview.htm
the card on sale is PCI Express so not compatible.
a search on newegg for agp 4x should do the trick, the cheapest
currently is at $25.99
I would look on ebay for a 2nd one if it's just for testing sake unless
someone close to you has a spare old AGP card they can lend you
Hope this helps

Ok, that gives me something to look for, the key words the being AGP-4X!

Apparently that will leave me with a card I most likely will not be able to use on anything else?

I'm already into this stupid effort for over $100. I bought the board from a guy on Craigslist, a gamble and I seem to have lost. When it works it's good but the darn thing is erratic, presently refusing to boot at all.

Thanks for the help.

Bob
