24 bit color support? (Sort of)

Get a decent PCI video card and that will solve the problem and give you some added gaming power as well as free up your CPU from doing practically all the work. PCI video cards are cheep and practically at any store you can find even Wal-Mart. I recommend a GeForceFX 5200 for something nice and well rounded as well as cheep. I don't believe any 810 equipped motherboard has an AGP slot BTW.

Most motherboards with onboard video *do* have an AGP slot (including Intel 810). I laugh out loud when I see an AGP-capable computer with a PCI video card.

MX cards are the cheap line of cards for Nvidia , MX400 , MX 440 , and MX4000 are all found at Wal-Marts usually.

But I have an AGP slot on this mobo , but I don't have an AGP card yet...

I'm aiming towards a new mobo though , since this one doesn't like my sound card... Stupid VIA which doesn't like Sound Blaster cards , or Aureal in my case which is fully compatible with SB... But still I hate my mobo...

It is fairly cheap, and runs most games pretty well.
You mean a Geforce 4 MX right? I heard those suck.

Perhaps compared to the better video cards, but an AGP MX card is far superior to the integrated intel chip!

That's so true.
