Buying new video card for Presario 5BW120
I want to upgrade the video card in my Presario 5BW120, however, I have
baffled by the cards available. From the specs on my machine, it states that it doesn't have any AGP slots, however, all the cards I am looking at have the following: Compatible Slots 1 x AGP Am I able to get video cards that connect to my PCI slots or are the majority of video cards able to be insert into PCI slots? Sorry if I sound dumb but I have never ventured into this field before. Cheers Karl -- To reply to me via email, remove nospam from the address below: |

Sure you can. ATI makes Radeon cards in PCI form. I think the 9000 is the
top of the PCI line. Tom "XP-38" wrote in message ... I want to upgrade the video card in my Presario 5BW120, however, I have baffled by the cards available.
