ok guys i have looked through the manual that came with computer, fat load of good it did. Since i havent bought a new video card in years last was a voodoo 2 2000, 2 computers ago:)
I hear all these problems with AGP incompatibilitys, is there if my computer has an AGP slot from a visual inspection, what should i be looking for and so on.. Or is there another way to tell. The computer itself is only a few months old, i dont have all the details right now.

Here is a picture of an AGP slot!

Its just slightly smaller than a PCI slot and brown.

To tell exactly whats in and going on in your computer I would download this Aida32. It will tell you what speed AGP your computer will support.

Be careful though on the visual inspection, for example my AGP slot is pretty purple! Wink

My AGP Slot is Yellow.

The AGP slot will ALWAYS be slightly offset to the PCI slots.
