Paladin-01 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Okay, my parents got me a new barebones for Christmas, and its allright, cept it doesn't have an AGP slot for my video card. Or any slots at all for expansions aside from PCI... That bothers me, since I vaguely remember talk about newer video cards requiring a new slot. Clarification/suggestion?

Pyrion Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 If it's "new," does it have PCI-express slots instead of AGP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 This should help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PCIExpress.jpg Bottom one's a classic PCI slot, the others are various flavors of PCI-Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin-01 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 New to me. Its still got twice the proccessing power of my old one. So I'm guessing PCI video cards are teh suck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been for the while. I mean the best you could get yourself is a GeForce 6200, low-end budget graphics there. Now the system currently has onboard video, right? Dare I ask what chipset?

Paladin-01 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 ...I can't seem to find it. System Information is showing a big ol' blank under Video Components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
