Question Re: Is This The Right Time To Upgrade???

Once again Thank you for all your answers & suggestions. Here is another question:

I went thru the Intel link (provided by Stalker) for D101GGC board and found the following 3 pieces of information in the "Expansion Capabilities" section:

1.) Two PCI Conventional* bus connectors
2.) One PCI Express* x1 bus add-in card connector
3.) One PCI Express* x16 bus add-in card connector

Does that mean that there are 2 PCI-e slots i.e. I can add 2 PCI-e cards if I want to? ... If YES explain if NOT explain.

I ask this question because I keep reading that same or similar info on almost all new motherboards.

Excuse my ignorance as I've recently taken to computers and pretty much learned EVERYTHING about computers from reading Digit Magazine each month so pls bear with me and my age (I'm almost 40) and explain to me in the most simplest form possible.

Having said that I've learned immensly reading the discussions in this forum (I've been reading this form for about a year now...but have just decided to join now because I didn't want to look "too dumb" for you advanced gentlemen...btw it is not meant to be sarcastic I turly have learned much from all of you and look forward to more. What I'm really impressed about all of you is the ability to convey your message in so few words but to the point & effectively...but give this old man a break & reply with a few extra sentences for me as I'm not as fast as you gentlemen.

Hey but don't forget my question.

Thanks a million
