you need to get the connector for it. it'll have a backing plate like a PCI slot with the connector on it, and a little connector that plugs onto the motherboard.
this is what you just enabled
one of these sort of cables (1st one i found on google)

Read all thru my manual this morning and couldnt see any ref to it or how to connect to one if it existed, cos that was what i was hoping to try, any ides what it would look like Jim
BUT do bear in mind the manufactures have removed that option from their BIOS and when I bought that MB it was already on a latter bios revision than the one ive flashed to, so may have been removed from the board before the bios update hence they removed it from the bios options probs because people were asking where it is OR so I recon lol

Ive got a couple now knocking round lol, spose the "better" one of them is a creative SB audio PCI with chip CT4810 with the serial numbers on the back begining 16 which makes the rev of the card a CT4816
The only jumpers on it are for for speaker outputs by the looks (says line out/speaker out depending on settings)
Had a look on mobo but cant see anything that looks like a cable can connect to it (havent had a look at the link u sent me yet to get an idea of what it may look like

) except the norm usb 934 firewire irda and sata connectors
as said dont wont major expense on this as only for the boy using old components i got kicking round and dont really want the expense of a new mb or processor,(have got an old mobo kicking around that will take an athlon X64 processor but not a spare processor lol or would have used that

)
Thanks for all the effort Jim
