Ok, I understand now...  those types of MBs do kinda suck.  I had a friend who
wanted to get a new case since his power supply wasn't working, so he went to
buy a medium tower, a switch from his desktop setup.  When I opened it up, it
was exactly the way you described the IBM Aptiva: an expansion card at a right
angle with the MB.  Had to pull out one of my old ones & put it in there for
him.  It's still not done cuz I need to sell him my video card.  But before
that, I need to save enuf $$ to buy me a new VLB card...  Any suggestions on a
Tseng chipset VLB card?  Thanx!  L8r!  GD
