Pci Or Agp?

Well i ran the 'everest' software but i still couldnt tell if my computer supports PCI or AGP..if some-1 would tell me how to find out what my motherboard supports..that would help tremendously

 

wait..what? where do i do that at?

 

Motherboard Chipset- Intel Brookdale i845PE
BIOS type-Phoenix (9/17/02)

 

ok..i get everest home ed. up and running then i click on computer...then..summary...then what do u need to know?

 

click on Motherboard,, and then again Motherboard.. then scroll down a bit and check what it says at the second line (expansion slots) of Motherboard Physical Info

 

Dell Dimmension 4550..sry guys i couldnt find accessories

 

eox Dell Dimmension 4550..sry guys i couldnt find accessories

 

so i can buy a AGP 8x graphic card?

 

Major, sure it would be simpler to serve people their stuff on a silver platter but wouldt it be best if they find out how to do it themselves so they can show others how to do stuff and dont ask the same questions over and over wasting our and their own time?

 

A waste of who's time? The active members of this forum joined to help ppl or decided to share their knowledge after being helped by someone in this forum. Someone here has an answer or solution to the question/problem. Why get all worked up over it?. No sense in developing an ulcer over it post the answer to their question or problem then move on.

 

so basically after this whole thread...I CAN BUY A VIDEO CARD THAT SUPPORTS AGP 8X? thats a yes or no question..im not the brightest crayon in the coloring box..and i kno that...thats why i need sum-1 to be idiotify like me..and yes i said idiotify..so if sum1 could just say a simple "yes..you can use a AGP 8X video card becuz my computer supports it..or No ur computer cannot.." and besides that
WHAT VIDEO CARD DO U GUYS RECOMMEND? SINCE ALL U GUYS NO EVERYTHING ABOUT MY COMP...I NEED HELP AHHHHHHHH

 

You have an AGP 4x slot. Here are the technical specifications for your computer Dell™ Dimension™ 4550 Series. You could buy an 8x card but your system will not be able to take advantage of the additional speed the card would provide.

 

here's a good video card:

i think u got me wrong, im not worked up about this ... i just think it is better if people know how to grow apples instead of having to be dependant on others to supply them...

i also think u should go for a 6600, preferably a GT. it will run basically anything with great graphics at an affordable price
