Hello everyone, I'm looking for a downloadable user manual for me motherboard which is the Asus PTGD-LA Goldfish 3. Can't seem to find it, When I google it all I get in the results are the manuals for the Asus PTGD1-LA Puffer motherboard. Since I had to replace my old one (and got the same motherboard) I think it would be nice to have around. Am also curious as to what kind of pci slots I have in it kind of playing with the idea of getting a graphics card for it as all I have is the motherboards on-board graphics. Looked at the motherboard itself and it doesn't say it on there. and the HP site that has the specifications only say's PCI so I don't really know what would be compatible with it. So anyone have any ideas where I could find that manual or know what graphics card would be compatible let me know and thanks!

If you look at the Motherboard layout and photos, there is no PCI express slot or AGP slot for a graphics card.


Yeah just normal pci slots, but would any regular pci cards work or is there a difference or different series of regular pci slots?

You'll only be able to use PCi cards, not PCi x1, x16, or AGP cards.

And I suppose even some cards could bottleneck with your CPU depending on what you plan on doing with your PC.
