is there any other way to add a video card to a computer besides AGP and PCI-E?

Yes, you can add one to a regular old PCI slot. They won't be good for gaming.\n\nI upgraded one of my computers with an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 PCI with 128 MB RAM, and it runs everything I need it to. And it is a Compaq, by the way.

You want to download a gfx card? Lol! Tell you what dude, if you find somewhere that'll allow you to download actual physical computer components then do let me know.\n\nSeriously, you can't do this, you need to buy an actual card and stick it in your machine.

It's possible to do a dual-display setup with your computer but there are some things you should know.\n\n* AGP cards are exclusive so it definitely won't share with your on-board video.\n* Some systems are designed to disable on-board video when another video card is inserted (PCI or AGP).  It's hard to tell if your system will do that.\n\nNo problem though, you just need to buy a video card with two video outputs.  I'm familiar with nvidia cards and I know for certain that dual-display is supported in the software so any nvidia card would work as long as two VGA outputs are present on the card.  If you plan to connect to one CRT and one LCD with DVI connector, you can use this card then (see picture):\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121184\n\nIf you are doing two CRTs, however, you'll need something like this where they include a DVI-to-VGA adaptor:\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814168002\n\nYou can also look for dual-VGA video cards like this one but I'm not familiar with ATI products and how easy it is to set it up:\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161150

Just find out what type of slot you have, most likely AGP, if its older or a cheaper model you might have just PCI, or if it's really new you might have a PCI Express.  Anyway you can find this out in your manual or by going to Dell's website and clicking support.  After you find out just make sure you get a card that matches the type of slot you have and the install is easy;

AGP-Video card is the hardware board, supports to monitor device. Without AGP there is no out device for monitor.\n\nMore you can saw by picture based examples on below mentioned sites.

Yes but it's not worth it Because PCI won't allow to share memory from the motherboard like AGP or PCI express will. \nYou have a decent Card For a PCI.

Unfortunately...you can't upgrade the video card in a laptop.  The only items which can be upgraded are:\n\nRam\nHD\nOptical Drive\nDiskette\n\nIn rare cases, the CPU and it has to be compatible with the M/B.

First, you must know your motherboard slots. If the color of the slots is white, its pci. if brown, its AGP. if black and long, its PCI-E. the best slot is Pci-e followed by agp then pci. If you want to buy best video cards, choose video card with slots of pci-e or agp. If you want to save your money, buy the affordable pci cards. Pci cards can't handle extreme graphics but they can play the game at the minimum resolution. After you buy a card. Disable or uninstall the driver of your old card using device manager. then unplug all the socket including monitors or any devices connected to your pc. then remove your old card and insert your new card in the motherboard. then boot your pc and install the cd that came with your card. then go to the site of your card to update its drivers. I recommend you to purchase Nvidia gefore 6 series because its affordable and can play games at the maximum detail. If you don't disable the driver of your old card, your new card won't work and can cause system problems.

first you have to determine what type of video card slot the motherboard has and make sure you buy the right video card for it... in othere words if your motherboard has an (agp) slot get a bfg 6200 agp card... or if its a newer motherboard itll have a faster video card slot called a (pci express) then if thats the case get a bfg 6200 pci express card....    I have a BFG 6200 oc agp and it works very well\n\n\nHope this helps

Am I mistaken...  Do you have this board?  But YES, it has video built-in.  But no AGP socket, so this is as good as it gets.\n\nNorth Bridge NVIDIA GeForce 6100 \nSouth Bridge NVIDIA nForce 430 \n\nBe sure to get an Athlon 64 X2/Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64 and lots of DDR2 800 RAM.  I would get a pair of 1GB RAM modules. \n\n Take a  look at NewEgg.    $66.99\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128009\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

AGP and PCI are two different standards, so a card meant for an AGP slot would only fit in an AGP slot and vice versa.  So verify whehter the motherboard of your computer supports both formats.  Secondly, AGP-based video cards are faster than PCI-based cards.  Have fun!

I've got some suggestions... in both PCI-Express and AGP variety.  You'll definately want to use the digital connector (DVI) so all cards suggested will have both an analog and digital connector.\n\nThe ranges given are relative to your price point.\n\nBasic - home office, Internet surfing, no games:\nAGP: ASUS Geforce MX4000 (23.99 + s/h) link #1\nPCIe: MSI Geforce 6200TC (36.00 + s/h) link #2\n\nMid-range - mostly office/Internet use, some games:\nAGP: SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600 (57.99 + s/h) link #3\nPCIe: MSI Geforce 6600 (76.99 + s/h) link #4\n\nUpper-range - will play most games pretty well.\nAGP: SAPPHIRE Radeon X1600PRO (139 + s/h) link #5\nPCIe: SAPPHIRE Radeon X800PRO (149 + s/h) link #6

You need to check the specs of your pc to see if it can be upgraded and what type of video slot is available on your motherboard.  If your pc is over a year old, it possibly has an AGP card.  You can open the case and check.  Open it and find the PCI slots first.  PCI slots are normally white.  The AGP slot will normally be brown and above the PCI slots and set back about 2 inches from the edge of the motherboard.\n\nThe 2 links below will be useful for upgrading.  One link is to NewEgg.com so you can compare video cards.  The other has instructions on how to upgrade your pc.
