Hi

I need to buy a new AGP card for my Dell Dimension 8300. Most of the pictures of cards for sale have three keys to fit into the slots.

Would these fit into my motherboard which has two slots? From the picture on Wikipedia mine looks like a AGP 1.5 V

Thanks

If you would kindly post a picture of the slot (the one on your motherboard), I will be able to help you out.


The best AGP card out there right now is the Sapphire 3850.

Thanks boudy, that's such fine offer I feel bad not being able to oblige. Alas, my card reader is broken as well!

However that Sapphire is almost exactly like my broken AGP card - a Radeon - with the same keys and slots.


Are other AGP cards with 3 keys, able to fit into this type of slot?

Thanks

Your card reader is broken? Oh, were you trying to put a picture up for me? Thanks for trying.

Well then I see that as the best option for you.

AGP cards with 3 keys should work in a 1.5V slot. I am pretty sure they are compatible with both the 1.5V and the 3.3V, hence why they were made that way.

Hope I helped.

Thanks for replying. I bought a Geforce 5200fx and it fits, but is dead as well.

I'll start a new thread to see if this rings a bell with anyone else :(

Thanks for reading.
