    This is my motherboard and it only has 2 pci slots the pci slot on the left near the edge of the board has 3 to 4 semi conductors I cannnot add my Radeon 9200 or my old tv tuner card in the slot is there a way that I can fix this problem without short circuting my motherboard ?

    Foxconn really doesn't know how to design a motherboard

    Wasn't the Radeon 9200 an AGP card? If so, you need an AGP card slot, not PCI, so this motherboard won't support it. My guess is that your old video card is also AGP.

    You are pretty much out of luck. About your only choice would be to try and bend them out of the way, but they will likely break...and of course void your warranty. I'd simply return it and get a new one.

    Looks like the 9200 had both an AGP and PCI version...
