I'll do a 7600 GS PCIE + 9250SE PCI then thank you for the confirmation.
Should be cheaper then a passive X8?0 PCIE even (but I'll miss my PCI
port - hope someone releases PCIE-1 cards soon, I have two empty PCIE-1
slots on this board)

AMD system here so unless they add the second DVI and make separate
PCIE-16 boards with it it's of little use to me :( Though hopefully when
I go system building again Intel systems will suck less than when this
one was built.
