[QUOTE="Intro, post: 178937, member: 7900"] OK, I've been reading up and I've come to realize that AGP and PCI Express are two different versions of the same thing. I'm starting to worry that I may have bought an incompatible graphics card - is that possible? This is my motherboard chipset [with PCI Express bus architecture]: http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/925x/index.htm This is my computer: http://hardware.gamespot.com/Dell-Dimension-8400-2929-S-1-2 And this is the card: ATI Radeon X850 Pro - which requires an AGP 4X/8X graphics slot, whereas my motherboard has a PCI Express graphics slot. So does that mean this card is useless to me? [/QUOTE]
