I'm not really good with computers, but this sounds like it could hold my new graphics card I bought off a friend, but could this mobo support my 'BGF GeForce 7800 GT OC', seem like it could but just checking.
No, u can't put a GF9 on the board, actually u can't put any graphic card that has a big cooler, only if you are NOT using the second pci slot. Just check at 2:55 and u will see why. The space between the pci-ex and pci slots is damn tight.
Best fit for me was only a GF8600, wich is also close to the pci slots, but at least fit in.
Is anyone here who managed to update the graphic drivers on this board since 2007? I got the "black screen" issue after updating with the new drivers, is no way so far to work this out.
I just did, the onboard card is so old that nobody makes anymore drivers for it. So I bought a GF 9 series graphic card and guess what... it's impossible to fix it in his slot due the card cooler... the pci express slot is very close to the other 2 pci slot :| So I had to buy an older graphic card, wich is also close to the other slots, but at least fits in.
Thing is.. this board have a very bad design and is very oudated. Maybe was a good one 5+ years ago, but now is a junk..
This board sucks and so does TigerDirect. The board shipped by Tiger "Zebra stripped" due to something improperly soldered on it. Tiger refused to replace the board stating that the problem was probably another piece of hardware. I replaced everything else (RAM, CPU, PSU) and the board still Zebra stripped until multiple OS's. Bought the RAM from Tiger and it too tested bad with Memtest86+. I'd never buy Biostar or TigerDirect again.
I have a shitty Emachines and this is the mobo that's in it. I was just wondering if newer cards (like 9800) will work with this mobo. Please respond!!!!
can anyone tell me how good the biostar p4m900-m4 notherboard is? I want to upgrade; by adding a graphics card in and more RAM... at da moment i ave some intergrated graphics card; i want to swap it for a better card. e.g can u put in a 8600 in there? with 1-2 GB RAM?
yeah! i'm using one of these, except mine is blue :D. it overclocks like a dream if you know what to do. it's actually kinda old by now with socket 939 and ddr1 memory :(.
opteron 170 10x269
NB/SB 3x269
Memory 224 (448 effective)
it'll actually go up to 280+, but i don't want my computer to die prematurely.
the 6100 is good for onboard graphics, but it's not that great for the heavy duty games. i stuck a 7900gs in it (and overclocked it of course).
it's just fine for those of us who use amd processors with on chip memory controllers and therefore inherently cheaper motherboards. in the off chance that you realized this, i don't need a $*** motherboard because, well, it only needs to hold all my other components together and work...
no, i think it is you who are retarded, wasteful, and cost inefficient.
you have no idea what makes a motherboard good do you?
do you want more modern motherboard? i guarantee that you can find an equivalently priced motherboard with an AM2+ socket, newer chipset, PCI-e 2.0 slot, and more SATA ports.
do you want two PCI-e slots for multiple graphics cards? since you have the money to throw around, you can get an ATI HD4870X2, which makes multi card solutions unnecessary.
ya eso no sirve eso es mas viejo !!!!

hehe im not using the second pci slot... but i think i have space for put that card.... ( I THINK)
but why? that mobo uses ddr? my mobo uses ddr2....
but are u sure u has a nvidia 6100 mobo?
with 4 slots for ram?
i have 2 slots for ram
... my mobo is not biostar i think..... just nvidia geforce 6100 ( not m9..)....
hehe... ask me something.. :)

I have a 9800 gt on it , but true the other PCI slots will be unreachable. But with PCI express you won't need the other slots.
