Not at all, I'm just messing around.

Sorry but.. Another problem

This is my motherboard:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p...8MM-V&class=mb

And this is the card:
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/sto...g_page=Product

Trouble is, the card says "PCI-E"?

Would this fit and work with my motherboard?

Thanks.

You need an AGP card Flashpoint, unless you can upgrade your motherboard, which my also mean you have to upgrade your processor and RAM.

If your after a top end graphics card your stuck, as AGP is being phased out.

Oh lucky me... I guess my last bet is the Geforce 7600 GT or something similar?

You could get yourself a 7900GS fella.

But due to the shrinking market for AGP cards the price has stayed very high. Expect to pay close to 200 quid for the card I've quoted.

Best bet would be to go the used route, have a look at Freeads or Ebay.

Yeah, I'm choosing between a 7600 GT or a 7600 GS on eBay

Which one is... Ehem... "Better"?

The GT is better Flash. Not by a huge margin to be fair but enough to be noticeable.

Rightyho, thanks. I'll ask the seller if it's AGP or PCI-E as he's put both down on the listing.

Clever.

Thanks anyway though!
