Does anyone know where on the motherboard the network card, sound card, and video card is located?

I know that these three cards are located on the motherboard, but where exactly on the motherboard are they located in? I am a little confused because it has been a while since I've seen a motherboard.|||usually the lower left of the motherboard|||Aren't the network card, sound card, and video card usually loacted on the expansion slots? or PCI slots, it should be pretty obvious cause its vertical|||Most newer MBs have these integrated into the board. The reason you cant find them is probably due to the fact that they are on the board. Look at your MB manual or search for it on-line. Your video card is most likely the top card (nearest to the CPU). If you have the others they are located below the video.

However, built in "cards" are not actually cards but chipsets placed directly on the motherboard much like your processor only these chips cannot be removed. If there is a conflict with a card that you are trying to install (ie a new video card is conflicting with the onboard video card) then you should have an option to disable them (Legacy disable) within the BIOS upon startup.
