This is one of my favorite HP motherboards. I have mine paired with a Phenom II X4 B99 @ 3.3 GHz, 8GB of RAM, and a GTX 960 4GB running Windows 10. The Bridge chip does get EXTREMELY hot under that aluminum heatsink and required some extra cooling. Surprisingly capable. Great Video!
I never had an ATI card from the X series. I switched from the 9550 and 9600 Pro back to nvidia by that time. But still the X1800 GTO is an interesting card.

Thanyou😊 Cool, maybe I should build something with it after all!
There's just something in X1800/X1900/X1950 cards I like. If I remember correctly, some X1800 GTO cards can be unlocked to XL :)
Really! I'll have to investigate😁
@@66mhzbrain I'm not 100% sure that do all models unlock, but I remember some ones did :)
@@RuruFIN still worth investigating!

Yes it was a solid card for me back then. Think I went from an x300 to x 1800 in my xp days.
Holy crap, how cheap for Asus to ditch IDE back then.
I agree that's a nice case.
I was trying to remember if I'd seen that on any board before!
That's an OEM board so that explains it. Retail boards had IDE much longer.
