PCI Video Card & W7
I've got a 939 pin DFI'sli DR motherboard, an AMD 4800 dualie, 2 gigs of PC3200 ram, yada yada yada that blew a capacitor on the motherboard. Could not even get it to post with my 8800gtx, or even an older 6800 nvidia GPU. Prolly due to overclocking. I had a tech check it out and replace the capacitor, but now the PCI-E slots are both dead. He did show me (stuck a PCI video card in the PCI slot and we did get a bios welcome screen then) that I could use one of the PCI slots for a cheap PCI video card and get it to run that way. My question is are all the PCI video cards capable of running W7? This is my old build and want to get it running and give to a friend just for surfing the net, emails, etc etc. I would like to install W7 on it, but might have to just run XP. If I could be assured that a PCI card would work with 7, then I'll just order one from Newegg and get it running for her.
Thanks everyone
