Re: Another Help Request... Hardware AGP stuff

wat is the agp speed of ur mobo?

im not 100% sure about this topic but to be sure u could open up ur case, take out ur video card (remember to ground ur fingers first) and look at ur agp slot at the the shape..and if it looks like it can fit in the one above then good

Re: Another Help Request... Hardware AGP stuff

Thank You, I had a detailed convo with someone on MSN he said bottom line AGP fits AGP ports :P so yea thats good, I then asked a gamer and he asked for mobo details etc All I can remember is saying
4X PCI, 1X AGP = 3.0
AGP 8x
He ssaid it should work.

Re: Another Help Request... Hardware AGP stuff

your old card doesnt really look like an agp card ... do you have an agp slot in your mobo?

Re: Graphics card help

need to know what your motherboard is and if it has an agp slot or not i think your old vid card looks like one of those really old type that went into the pci slots if u have an agp good if not u will need to replace your motherboard if u want to run that card

Re: Graphics card help

Re: Graphics card help

9600 XT, it did not say anything about BIOS, I am coming closer to crying :'( lol... this is starting to piss me off. Hmm.... my local PC shop says I should take it down but its pissing down with rain. He also said that its either not in right, also some along the lines of you need to view the screen to install it.. No **** eh. Anyway if anyone can help much pleased :)
