open the case and identify the slot... this link should get you to someplace with pictures of slots... otherwise look on www.newegg.com and search mobos by agp and then pci-e and compare.

BFG GeForce 7800GS is about the best you will still find for AGP. It's time to start thinking of a PCI-e system.\n\nEdit:\nGalaxy brand?!? FX5500?!? Is this meant to be a joke?\n\nBFG has great product and customer support. The card I linked to is $213.77 shipped. Seriously though, it's time to start considering putting those funds towards a more current, ground up build.

It matters what type of interface you have in your pc, there are two main types on the market today, PCI express, and AGP.  You must figure out the interface in your pc, and buy accordingly.\n\nIf you mean you want to know if your video card is compatible with a game you own, make sure it is listed in the requirements, or look on the games website for supported game.\n\nI'm sorry I couldn't be more straightforward, there wasn't much for me to work off of.

You can always make G-card upgrades, most most likey your computer uses PCI but check the manual.

AGP's a little bit smaller and farther in from the edge than a PCI. Usually AGP's are closer to the CPU and come in different shapes (8x, 4x).

The best AGP card would be a Nvidia 6600GT or 6800 video card.  6800 AGP cards are a bit rare but they do exist.  It's probably easier (and probably cheaper) to get a 6600GT, however.  These cards are a good choice because they support the latest graphic doo-hickeys like the latest shader version, DirectX 9, etc.\n\nPlease note that no ATI X-series (X300, X600, X700, X800, X1800) cards are available in AGP form except for one that exists for Apple Macs.  These cards are manufactured months to years in advance and ATI chose not to support AGP in favor of PCI-Express.

I would look at the latest versions of the Nvidia or ATI graphics card range ie ATI Radeon 9800 or Nvidia 6800 or 7600 ( I dont think they do an AGP version of the 7800 or 7900 although I could be wrong ) Worth while checking out though. Look on www.tomshardware.com and www.firingsquad.com for reviews etc\n\nI hope this helps

depends on your mother board. The AGP is better if your motherboard is equipped with an AGP port; otherwise you'd have to go with PCI.

many utilities like 'cpu-z' can tell you what kind of graphics slot you have. or you can check system bios.\n\nit is the type of slot that determines whether you can or can't use a video card. [ agp 4x, 8x, or pci-express ] but there are both agp and pci-express versions of both the 6600 and the 6800.

Here's the best deal in AGP video cards at the moment: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102666  It will play any game out right now, including F.E.A.R., the game that makes most video cards cringe, at 1280x1024 resolution.  It will play almost any other new game out at that resolution or higher, with the "eye candy" turned up pretty far. Eye candy meaning full-screen Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering (both of which make a considerable difference in how games look.\nI know, I bought one recently, and couldn't be happier.\n\nHere's the best deal I could find on a 6600GT, which isn't as fast as the X1600 Pro, if you're using AA and AF (the eye candy): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814133137

Any card is fine, I suggest either an ATI card, or a Gforce card. You can find cards anywhere now from like $70-$300 that are good. \n\nFirst just check to find out if your computer has AGP, PCI, or PCI-E (PCI Express) ports. To do this look inside your computer. If you see little brown ports that means you have AGP, if you have PCI then you have just plain metal ports, and if you have PCI-E then you have gold ports. PCI-E is the best, followed by AGP, and finally, the oldest type, PCI. \n\nI suggest atleast getting a 256mb card, as that will work for most. If you are into extreme gaming then you might want to head up to the 512mbs. Also, be sure to check if your computer has dual capabilites. Which means you can have two graphic cards at once. \n\nFor more information be sure to check www.wikipedia.com ... Simply search PCI-E ports, AGP ports, or PCI ports, this will help to give you a picture of what your looking for, while looking in your computer. \n\nGood luck! if you need any more help feel free to email me.

chk ur graphic card especially the 3d support , go \n( start==run==type dxdiag , ok) then chk ur pc totaly

PCI-E or AGP are both standard graphics ports. Your dell will almost certainly have an Advanced Graphics Port. It is long and black. This is the slighly older graphics port, but at this time it makes almost no difference what port you use. PCI-E x16 is the newer graphics port. It runs faster. \n\nA graphics card will not fit in the wrong port. Installing it will be different for each port. Which card do you have? or are you about to buy one?\nThe installation instructions should come with the card. Simply shut down, pull out the power plug, and open the case. In most dells this is pretty easy to do. Inside you locate the port on the motherboard (the really big board). AGP is long and black, PCI-E is long and white. There are several other ports that can be confused with these, but the card will not fit in them. You simply seat the card firmly in the port. Close up the computer and boot up. It should automatically be detected by the system. There may be a CD with some software included.

You must have direct-x installed\nIf you do, go to your start menu and click run\ntype 'dxdiag' and hit enter\nin the dialog box that shows up, go under video and see what graphics card is listed.\nThen you can google for the drivers\n\nIf this doesnt work,\nRight click on my computer and select properties\nunder hardware, select device manager\nunder video cards, look for the name and google for drivers\n\nIf that too doesnt work,\nopen up your cpu and look at the graphics card itself. It will definetely have the manufacturers name printed on it\nthen google for drivers\n\nPeace.

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!

For AGP your best bet is a Radeon 6800 graphics card. Buy a GT if you can afford it. You have choices of 128mb or 256mb. Choose what you can afford but I believe a 128mb GT is better than a standard 256mb.\n\nThere are websites that will do detailed comparisons giving you statistics from playing the latest games on them. Google "graphics comparison statistics" and see what you find.\n\nAs for your other PC I wouldn't bother spending any money upgrading it, if all you do is Internet and photo editing then your current graphics will be fine and who needs great sound on a PC?
