Got a new wish list? That is a supermicro board and when I looked at those they all supported 800mhz fsb and ht. Is that one pci express or agp 8x? I really think you should chip in a few more bucks for a video card. Especially if the motherboard has pci expres... its almost a rule.

Well i already have a video card. I dont want to buy it again. Its a pci grafic card that supports dual monitor that i needed.
Ok here is something else this is a machine from dell, My company got really scared of me building the machine by my self. now they are making me look for a dell

I would never reccomend buying from a major manufacturer... it is against my religion. But pci video is from the dark ages... I just think you would be better off with pci express or agp atleast. You may not be a gamer or anything, but it should give you better performance and it will be current for a long time. If your company is picking up the tab, another 50 bucks is no big deal. You do not need to buy a new card specifically for dual moniters, just add in the pci card and run the second moniter off of that.
