Default How can I tell?

I finally found the video card tha I want to purchase, but I don't know what kind of video slot I have. It doesn't say anywhere on the box or computer. Lots of people say its AGP because its new, but I dont know.

So how can I find out if it is AGP or PCI?

in the "mainboard" tab, at the bottom where it says "graphic interface" it should say it there...

It is blank under graphic interface.

My current video card in integrated, so that might be why.

Any other suggestions?

Make and model of your computer?

That way we can either hit the tech support site for the brand, or Google it to find out.

Dude, open up your computer and look at the slot (it is usually brown or a different color than the white pci slots next to it) and find a picture of a agp slot and see if it looks like it or not.
