Hello people at Tom's Hardware!

I have an old computer running on Intel Core 2 Dual cpu and it has an PCIe where I have decided to put a GTX 550 Ti for my gaming needs!

I also have a second old computer with a Intel Pentium D dual core cpu which I have decided to put an Nvidia GT 640 on it in order to play LAN but I have no idea if the port is a PCIe because it does not have a clip on the end. The other computer has a little clip on one end to keep the card on position like all the motherboards i know of.

Please keep in mind that both PSUs are powerful enough. I will buy a 500W (for GTX) with the cards when I order them and transfer the 325W (for GT) from the Intel Core 2 to the Pentium PC!

Thanks in advance! Any other recommendation will be apprutiated!

Yes, it's PCIE GFX. Your mobo is MS7254 you can google it, and see the specs here:

After googling the motherboard model number (MS-7254) i found this: http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/msi-ms-7254-specs/

They list it as a PCI-e 16X so you'll be ok...

Also in my memory, AGP slots are always dark brown or dark purple and the middle notch is farther on the right (maybe at 2/3 of the slot starting from the left) see: https://www.google.ca/search?safe=off&q=AGP+slot&ion=1&biw=1920&bih=957&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=fr&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=HiG_UdTjMsrK0wG2i4HIDg

Thank you everyone for the answers! I will go with CX 500 non-modular Corsair PSU and Nvidia cards and try not to bottleneck a lot! I didn't know that was a motherboard code number! So now I know that a PCIe port can be physically different than the ones ASUS and Gigabyte provide! :) :) THANK YOU!

According to the MB specs (MS 7254 ver 2.1), that is a PCIe x16 slot that is selected. The small one is a PCIe x1 and the other two are PCI slots.

The 550 Ti will most likely work since all the newer graphics cards are supposed to be backwards compatible.

I would update all the MB drivers.
