motherboard/9 PCI slots #reply-3432224. and graphics attached to MB I took the cover off my friends NEC P133 computer and it has a total of 3 PCI slots with none being used. I couldn't find the graphics card or sound card. Does that mean they are built into the MB? If built into the MB, I guess there is no way for my friend to use Win '98 for multimonitors since it requires that all graphics cards be PCI. Or is there a way? S.W.

Many PCI Slots Most multiprocessor mobos are 12 slot with a 9 PCI and 3 ISA the normal split. Don't know whether all can be used if only one CPU populated. Networm

I have been disappointed with the quality and reliability of reviews in PC Magazine lately. Of course, I also dropped my Byte subscription, and I caught Boot in too many errors to put up with them either (and I even saw them stonewall it when readers wrote in to challange). In short, when it comes to trade mags, I guess I don't like anybody very much <GGG>. So take my comments with a grain of salt. But I'd rather listen to Dave and Zeuspaul and Networm myself. These folks know where it's at. (BTW, if you listen to me, be advised that all my stuff with the exception of a couple of hard drives is at least a year and a half old, so WDIK? In short, do so at your peril. I merely talk it up a lot <G>.) Spots
