Video card issue
Video card issue
(OP)
I need to get a different video card, my problem is I don't have a PCI express slot, most likely an AGP or PCI. I had settled on an nvidia fx560 but can't find anything that isn't PCI-e. Am I out of luck or can someone point me in a different direction short of a new mother board...
Thanks,
Dennis

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.
RE: Video card issue
That's where I was but those are PCI-e cards they won't work in my AGP.
Having a problem finding a FX 500 (discontinued), the one I found online at Compuvest didn't sound like it even came in a box.
That's what I get for letting my box builder find me a card that would work 3 years ago. I was told I might as well get a new box if I needed to go with PCI-e.

There was a discussion here on PCI-E slots try running a search that might give you some insight on the slot itself... but IMO you are hosed.

RE: Video card issue
Just an update: Have installed nVidia FX500 and I should have done it two years ago. Nice smooth rotation, most if not all of my crash issues have disappeared. For an entry level card it's amazing. Now all I have to do is get one for home and I'll be set, at least for now.
