Says it has a "low power standard PCI connector" so add a video card.

I have used 4501's which required one use a 3.3v PCI card. We needed
audio and the only thing I found was discontinued Aureal cards. When run
at 3.3v we learned they'd try but clip at 75% of max output, so we
adjusted our volumes accordingly.
