Graphics card sloth help?

I ran a program to find out what graphics card slots i have, it displyed this -

Bus(es) - ISA AGP PCI IMB USB i2c/SMBus

I can see AGP in there and was just double checking if that is the slot i should buy a new graphics card for, also what does the rest of that mumbo jumbo mean, sorry i really dont know alot about computers.

hi ben

yes you have a agp slot and you need to buy a agp type graphic card,however now you need to download a diagnostic program called "sisoft sandra lite" from http://www.sisoftware.net/index.html?dir...

you now need to discover the agp version you have and type,hopefully you will have version 2.0 and the type agp 1.5v,as this is compatible with nearlly all the latest agp graphic cards

if its agp 3.0v then you may have problems locating a decent modern agp card as this is the older version,and harder to find newer cards in this version

once you have downloaded SiSoftware Sandra XII you need to look for the diplays sub catergory and this will give you the information you need

if you are having problems finding out the type of agp card then e-mail me the motherboards name and model number(you can also find this out in SiSoftware Sandra XII )

for advice and purchasing a agp card let me know

good luck ben !

well, if you have a motherboard with pci-express then that is the way to go, with most of the nvidia 8 series using that slot

for those you will need a pci-e 16x slot

for agp you can still get 7 series cards which will do a good job

the rest is mostly stuff for other cards, e.g. sound cards and wifi cards
