The mobo already has an integrated video card, since I'll use this thing just for music related stuff I think the on board card should be enough (and there's always a pci express slot ready, for future additions).
If you want to share some tips, I thank you in advance, you could start giving suggestions earlier since I have xp sp2 already insalled in the pc I'm typing with

he he, unless you meant tips that are useful for a "home recording" pc rather than an all-around machine... If those tips imply long posts feel free to mail me if it's more comfy for you! (even if those could be "public service" posts...)
