Hello: Mark was kind enough to give me a PCI video card. With and without the AGP card in the slot, the board does not post, the word I have learned having to do with the first beeps and signals that a computer makes after being given power. The RAM had worked in another computer. That leaves three types of problems: the motherboard (new), the cpu (new), or the way everything is connected. I confess to inexperience. I figure it only takes one wiring blunder to silence a motherboard. If anyone in the group likes to solve this sort of hardware problem, I could bring the hardware with all the manuals to you this weekend (I'd probably also buy a new motherboard because I need something to work). This sounds like a game of swapping parts until things work, and experience is a key to win. Please email me if you could do this sort of charity work. Thanks, doug
