Well seen as though i have a little shitty 16mb graphics card i decided to get a new 256mb GEforce, so i happily plodded home with my new toy. I got home took my PC apart only to find out my mother board only supports little shitty graphics cards, so you can imagine im not in the best of moods right now :angry: :angry:
Any of you have simlar problems?

check the box next time for PCI or amd

or your motherboard's website for compatible video cards

[Runch]

PCI? or AMD? well......that doesnt make sense...so im assuming you mean PCI or AGP....anyway that sucks ben. go return it.

[Ben]

Yeah i am tomorrow, ermm it sais it fits into a PCi slot, i know a lot about computers but not so experianced about fitting new parts etc. eve though i know how...

i think i can only fit AMDx2 or something not sure, it wernt my pc to begin with so im not sure what i got, i know the shit from dxdiag and thats it.

It would be cheaper to just get a new comp in the long run but i aint got the cash got a shitty pentium 3, 16mb graphics card, the only thing that aint too bad is the cpu i think. Oh and i only got 272mb of RAM

[Runch]

it prolly says PCI Express x1 or PCI Express x16 which is what most newer PCI cards are. you would need a PCI Express x1 or PCI Express 16 slot on your Mobo

[vin]

lol i meant agp

i was reading an article on AMD systems earlier :/

[Ben]

Well i got a new graphics card and it fitted fine, but my processor aint good enough (440MHz) and it needs at least 679MHz so im thinking either over clocking it which i know nothing about or just get a new pc for christmas

[Samuel]

Overclocking is not an option. Sorry, its not worth it.

I would suggest getting a new pc. I mean, I got my pc over 2 years ago, and I don't have an PCI x16 slot. =(

I wish I did, but thats the way the cookie crumbles.

APG is old technology, soon x16 will be the only available slot. =(

[Ben]

I think i can wait untill crimbo :P
