looks like an AGP card to me, as far as the slot in the computer can't tell it might be an AGP pro slot which is slightly differnt, do you know what motherboard you have , model nuumber/brand ??
Good info to compare your card to, there are several version of AGP AGP Compatibility For Sticklers Accelerated Graphics Port - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia __________________

I would be careful because it looks like you have the two different types. The board looks like the newer 2x/4x slots and the card looks like the older 1x slot.
Usually there is only one way to put in the card, and if it doesnt fit the way its supposed to, then dont put it in. You could damage the card and the board. Besides, if you stick it in how the hell are you going to plug in the monitor? Find out which AGP the board supports and find out what kind of AGP the card is. |

Ew how can you recommend a PCI card? Think of the serious bandwidth limit. AGP1X, OLD ASS, supports double that of a PCI slot.
If you go to anandtech.com and go into the forsale forums under FREEBIES, so members are kind enough to dish out old AGP cards. Id rather have one of those then put out for a shitty PCI card. |
