i'm no computer wiz soo? i don't know what the tearms are

Blehh July 28th, 2003 10:13 AM

Yeah, I don't know much about certain sized vid cards. Where's apocalypse_kid? He's always good at these things.

the Darkness July 28th, 2003 10:15 AM

I'll go to the HP site look for you....brb.

I'm back...you have 2 PCI slot free (unless you've added anything else) so you need a PCI compatible vid card. The one you bought was most likely for an AGP slot. Take the one you have back and get one that fits in the PCI slot. They should have no problem trading you, if it's still new. Hope this helps.:cool:

sxdrive July 28th, 2003 10:29 AM

hey whats the difference between a PCI slot and AGP slot?

the Darkness July 28th, 2003 10:36 AM

A PCI slot is slower than an AGP slot. They also look a diffrent. The PCI slot has a tab in the middle to help you align the card. I think the PCI slots are also white or off-white. The AGP slots are much faster. There a little longer, and have a place on the end so you can lock the card into the slot. And I think there a burnt orange color. If you need to know the exact speed diffrence, you'll have to ask Apoc.

yeehaa July 28th, 2003 10:51 AM

dude if this is your comp spec http://www.hp.com/hp-at-home/nz/hppa..._hardware.html then u only have pci slots availible on yours , your graphics are built onto the motherboard . so wot u need is a pci graphics card , + u need to switch ur onboard graphics of in the bios , if you can ? when u fit the new card , a good pci graphics card is going to be hard to find most are agp now .

the Darkness July 28th, 2003 11:02 AM

You can switch off the on-board video, under the device manager button. If you don't have to, don't mess with the BIOS.

sxdrive July 28th, 2003 11:03 AM
