Kingknight67 Posted June 6, 2006 CID Share Posted June 6, 2006 I've been using a pci card and i been thinking of upgrading it, the card i'm liking is a pci-e card and i'm not sure if it is compatible with my computer. I use a ASUStek Kirin-V motherboard with intel i845G chipset. not sure what other info i need. thanks!

Kingknight67 Posted June 6, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 6, 2006 I know pci slots wont work with pci-e, but motherboards have both pci and pci-e slots and i'm wondering if mine does, i'm not sure ; Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/13915-can-my-comp-handle-pci-e-cards/#findComment-150691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted June 6, 2006 CID Share Posted June 6, 2006 im using a pci card now, ati 9250 radeon to be more specific, how can I used an agp card? your motherboard has PCI and a AGP slots so you can use a AGP card.

justinlay Posted June 6, 2006 CID Share Posted June 6, 2006 have you ever used an agp card on that board? You'll get alot better performace out of that agp slot than that pci slot. That agp card would just slip in like an pci beside it has a clip on the agp to keep it in to spot, and bios should recognize the card.

resopalrabotnick Posted June 7, 2006 CID Share Posted June 7, 2006 can't use an agp either. you can see the contacts where the manufacturer saved 23 cents by not soldering in the connector.

Gabe1972 Posted June 7, 2006 CID Share Posted June 7, 2006 No. Your computer cannot use PCI-E cards. Nor can it use an AGP card. Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/13915-can-my-comp-handle-pci-e-cards/#findComment-150843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PeePs Posted June 7, 2006 CID Share Posted June 7, 2006 How old is your computer? Seems like every computer they make now have at least an PCI-E slot or AGP slot.

Gabe1972 Posted June 7, 2006 CID Share Posted June 7, 2006 From the looks of it in the pictures he posted, ir looks like it has some age on it. Of course it could be an oem moherboard, explaining why it has no AGP.

Gabe1972 Posted June 7, 2006 CID Share Posted June 7, 2006 You are probably right. It's probably just one of the economy OEM boards. I know Dell and Gateway love using boards that are worthless when it comes to upgrading.
