agp?

[imported_Tonic]

dont know if my computer has a agp slot or whatever. i know it has a pci-e slot though.

Another thing you want to see is what type of PCI-E slot your board has. Video cards usually use a PCI-E 16. A lot of boards (like mine) have a PCI-E slot, but it is only a PCI-E 1.

Do you know the make & model of youe borad? This way it would be easier to tell you what you have & what to look for.

Basically, boards usually don't have 2 different type slots to run video. You will either have AGP or a couple PCI-E 16's

are the next generation of graphic cards that are coming out agp or pci-e?because the x850 is agp and if i stick with pci-e ill have to settle for the x800 xl and also the x800 pro is agp. i want really good graphics but i dunno if i want to get agp because it can get better graphic cards.

The X800XL is definitely not settling. Arguabley the best "Bang for the Buck" out there. Great card all high 4x AA @1280x960.

I disagree. My friend plays everything on medium except textures, lighting, and the dynamics, with 4x AA and 100% view distance and gets 30+. If he turned off AA he would get a solid 45 which is deffinitely playable. He doesn't have an awesome PC, just a pentium 4 2.8, 1gb of ram, and the 5700 LE.

Even so. i wouldnt recommend him getting a PCI.
