Gah! Graphics Cards...

[Woad Warrior]

So, my GeForce 6600 Graphics Card arrived, and I tried to fit it into my computer. According to the motherboard, Intel Pentium 4 Processor 515 computers come with ATP slots. The Graphics Card was supposed to fit into ATP slots. However, apparently it doesn't fit because the Graphics Card is ATP 8x or something like that. Anyone know if it should fit into my computer? It actually physically doesn't slot in. It wasn't me who actually tried to fit it, and the person who did was no expert, so I just want to double check before I sell it...

AGP or ATP ? If the card really is AGP (they have PCI versions) and the board really does have an AGP slot (most older boards do) then it should fit.

Go here to see what an AGP slot looks like:

In that picture its the brown one. The PCI slots are usually all together in a row and the AGP slot is off by itself.

Oh dear :inquisitive:

Some AGP slots are not like the others...

Then there is PCI Express too
