Allright here's the Story, I got this computer for FREE from my girlfriends parents. She works at an office and it was custom built for their company, It currently has the Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family. So, my question, is that i was looking to upgrade to a new Video card, but i do NOT know what type of Video card slot my computer may have, if it even has one at all. Or if i can simply replace the current Chipset, but with what kind of video card. I realised that there is PCI, AGP, and PCI-Express. So im wondering if at all possible i would be able to replace this current card i have for something better. Im looking for a Gaming card, and i would like to know how to get ANY specs you guys need. Thank you.|||ok if you open up your computer you will see that it doesn't have a graphics card at all. the graphics chip that it is using is integrated. look at the empty slots and you can tell if it's AGP, PCI, or Pci-Express.
Pci-express is the best one. it is also the longest one and could be recognized by looking at the locking mechanism at the end of the slot.
If you dont plan on replacing the power supply, then look for the best graphics card that doesnt need extra power recognizable by no power slots on the side of it|||There is no such thing as a 'gaming card' Just graphics card. The computer will have a slot for it, yes. Open up the computer and the motherboard should have a make and model written on it. Google the make and model so say it is an Asus m2n sli deluxe then google 'Asus m2n sli deluxe spec' and it will tell you what it is. If it is less than 3/4 years old and it is pci, then chances are it will have pci & pci-e. Or it will be an AGP. Failing that, take it to a computer shop and ask them to tell you what it is. They can't charge you for something like that
