Video card help for an idiot
« on: January 25, 2007, 04:30:22 PM »
OK, i'm average on computers, but when it comes to anything technical i am horrible.  Awile back I got a new video card. ATI Radeon 9200 AGP.  I read up on the whole pci and agp thing.  SO i have a windows xp home addition.  When i read my manual it says i have 3 pci card slots, nothing about AGP.  Now i'm guessing this means that this card doesn't work with my computer so i was goin to give it to my friend and maybe later get a pci video card.  Just making sure first that there wasnt anyway i could put this graphics card on my computer b4 i gave it away and this seemed like a good place to ask.

Why don't you post the computer or motherboard make and model. If you don't know, download Everest Home, run a report and post it here. With what you have provided we cannot advise.

Well... If it says you do not have any AGP slots then you dont have any use for an AGP Video card... And from your stats that you posted there is no information about any ports... Do not give it to a friend... Because that is a pretty nice video card... Sell it to your friend... You have no use for it from what I see... Sorry bud
