Here is a site that has custom Bios and utilities for perfoming a Bios flash. There is a lot of useful information on the site. \n\nhttp://www.techpowerup.com/bios/

I think some people don't read the questions carefully.\n\nYes, there is an adapter available for your PCMCIA card. It's called PCI to PCMCIA Card. Check the PCI Specification of the motherboard in your desktop PC. The adapter is Revision 2.2 compliant.\nHere is what you're looking for:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815124021

yes. There's always a possibility that during the flash process you'll lose power in your neighborhood and render the chip unuseable.  What features do you need in the BIOS that you're hoping to add? If you don't know, then I don't reccomend flashing.

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

In the grand scheme of things, AGP is right in the middle.\nPCI will go out first - it has already reached its limitations in ability to keep up with AGP and PCI-E.\nAGP is standard - good quality/reasonable price.  It should be a while before it gets overtaken, but all things eventually do.  And when it does...\nPCI-E will overtake AGP as the standard.  Its capabilities are better than that of AGP or PCI.  It can be pricey when you start looking at the best cards though.\n\nAlso, check out some of the motherboards your favorite company is producing.  Some companies are phasing slots out that other companies still using.  Most companies will list all their motherboards step-wise by make and you can view the specifications for each one and start to infer the changes that company is moving toward.

PCI Express if you have one.\nOtherwise AGP.\nPCI is like 16x slower than AGP and will give you horrible performance.\n\nKeep in mind the video card determins which slot you can put it in.  Only an AGP video card will go in an AGP slot, etc.\n\nAlso make sure the card you buy will work with your motherboard.   A motherboard will generally have PCI Express and PCI, or AGP and PCI.  I've never seen a motherboard with both AGP and PCI Express.

The mboard you buy will have AGP hardwired, not really accurate to call it a "card."\n\nAsus boards are great!

What's your motherboard?  Easier to figure it out that way.  Just need to match your AGP or PCI-E to the video card and it should work.

AGP IS A VIDEO SLOT ON THE MOTHERBOARD ON WHICH YOU INSTALL AN AGP VIDEO CARD AND YOU CAN ACTIVATE IT FROM THE BIOS

Your agp/pci driver got correcpted. Start ur PC in safe mode uninstall ur agp/pci driver ( remove any virus or spy ware if any) and restart ur pc. Now try to start ur pc normaly and install ur driver.\n\n\nNeo

It's easy...for windows XP, go to start->control panel->Performance and Maintennance->System. Then go to the "Hardware" tab, click "Device Manager". Click view and choose "Devices by connection". Expand all the Icons (click on the small + in the small box beside the icons) till you see PCI bus. Expand more icons till you see your name of your grapics card. Then look back upwards by one stage and you will see something like "Intel(R) 82131XX/XX/XX Processor to AGP Controller". AGP Controller means AGP bus. PCI controller means PCI bus and so on.\n\nSimpler step is to look up the computer's manual for info regarding the graphics.

look at the specs for your motherboard. what type of slot do you have? AGP, PCI, or the new PCI Express?

It depends on what your motherboard can take. I would recommend the following card:\n\nnVIDIA 7600GT\n\nYou can buy this online from £90-£120 and is a fantastic high end mid-range card. I personally have the PCI Express version which is much faster then it's AGP counterpart.\n\nDont just look at how much memory the card comes with. As some of the better cards come with less, but the memory technology is more modern and much faster - therefore the card performs better.

A new motherboard will almost certainly cost less than a PCI-to-PCI adapter - and anyhow, where would the cards physically go?\n\nYou also may wish to consider using USB or Firewire/1394 peripherals instead of using PCI cards.

It's an AGP card, & requires an AGP slot, not a PCI slot.\nIf your motherboard has no PCI slot then one of them will have to go.\n\nIf you investigate replacement of the motherboard, keep in mind that there exist different flavours of AGP - not all are compatible. (see link below).\n\nAlso, even if the new mobo will take your existing processor, you will probably need to remove the heatsink to remove the cpu.  Then you will need to clear the cpu * base of the heatsink with special solvent and reapply some arctic silver or similar to ensure an even and efficcient connecion between the two.\n\nThen it's likely that you would need to reload all your software from scratch.\n\nIf you were to buy a new new PC it might not have an AGP slot, as this is being superceded by the PCI-E slot.\n\nSorry.  The only possible ray of hope is that your PC actually has an AGP slot - you just weren't looking for it, and it already has a graphics card therein.  The R9000AIW would replace this card.\nThis might make you feel foolish briefly, but I hope that's the case, because it's all there is!

this may be a silly question, but the msi cards are pci-e and not AGP? there should be a small row of pins on the top of the card. I believe you will need to be able to  attach the sli bridge to get the 6600's to work in sli mode

Take the side cover off and look.\nDo you have a Video expansion slot?\nIf so, it is AGP or PCI-e?\nA lot of the cheaper boards do not have a video slot.\nIf you have a regular PCI slot open, you would need to buy a card that fits the slot.
