I am looking to buy a seperate graphics card than what is installed on the motherboard, according to the specs of my computer's mother board, there is 3 pci slots and 1 8X agp slot. Do I really NEED to get an agp card or can I get something that would fit in the pci slot ?
Also, I heard agp and pci-e cards are similar in the way they look, would a pci-e card work in the agp slot ?
None of the stores like future shop, best buy, staples, etc, sell agp cards anymore that I can see and I don't trust buying one off ebay cause I don't trust it won't arrive broken.
Please help
My processor is a AMD Athlon 64 processor 3400+ 2.40GHZ
memory is 2gb (although for some odd reason its showing as 1.94gb
and I'm running a 32bit version of windows 7
