Im going to build the below system in the next few days. However i won't be able to get the video card for another 3-4 weeks. The only thing i have lying around is a 6 year old savage 4 PCI video card with 16mb onboard memory. Will i be able to just pop it into a PCI slot and will it work as a stand in for now. Obviously no gaming or anything, i just need to be able to install windows, all the drivers, transfer my data and surf the net for 3 weeks before i get my geforce 6. So will it work or will there be some compatibility problems?
Oh and 1 more question. To install the SATA HD i have to press F6 after the boot from windows XP cd begins and prompts for SCSI devices right? And then insert the floppy disk with drivers when prompted? Is that correct. Isn't there a way to install it directly from the mobo CD or do i have to go throught this slightly annoying process of copying it first to a floppy drive.
