You can get a PCI GeForce4 card...

I know people are using them with their mini-itx setups.

Hi,

> I don't know of any boards that are exclusively pci.

well I already have a microATX board which has onboard Intel 845 GL
and 4 PCI slots (NO agp slots). But I can't tell which brand it is...

Well, it's not a matter of saving money. 
I want to put my system in the "CoolerMaster ATC 620" HTPC case
which is very cool, but can only host microATX boards.

Thus if I can have the VGA onboard, and no AGP slot, it's one
more PCI slot that I can use....


Thanks,
Franco
