Think about it.\n\nTo have an I.D. card means SOMEONE has your name and information in a data base.  That data can be available to almost anyone and you wouldn't know it or even be sure that information is safe.\n\nThe more electronic the world gets (data storage, etc I mean) the less privacy we all have.\n\nGeorge Orwell's "1984" was a bit of an exageration, but not by much.

No but you can however purchase pci based graphics cards (these are not be confused with pci-e cards - these are completely different again).

If you mean PCI-X, and to all the other answerers, there is a PCI-X that is not PCI Express or regular PCI, no there are no video cards for PCI-X.  Of course if you are referring to PCI Express there are video cards for that.  Unfortunately a lot of people mistakenly refer to PCI Express as PCI-X, which is incorrect.

A PCI card is typically a "card" that fits into a PCI slot on your motherboard.  If you open your computer's case, you will see a motherboard with several slots on the bottom left side.    Some of these slots will be filled, and some might be empty.  As long as your PC is turned off, you may remove the card in question by unscrewing it (just 1 screw on the bracket) and firmly lifting it up out of its slot.\n\nLook at the card front and back for any labels.  You should be able to see a manufacturer name such as Creative, Intel, ATi, Nvidia or Linksys.  You might also see a string of numbers.  If all else fails - punch those numbers (maybe a serial number) into a search engine and you should find some answers.

Normal PCI are being phased out in favor of the superior PCI-Express/PCI-E.  AGP is actually becoming a rarity too, since PCI-E can achieve twice the speed of the best AGP cards.  Try ordering them online if you can't find them locally.

NO! Infact, I doubt that you would find anymore PCI graphics cards in stores like Best Buy or Circuit City.  A very breif list of graphics card slots in order of appearance:\n\n1.PCI graphics slot (Phased out)\n2.AGP graphics slot, 4x to 16x (Phasing out)\n3.PCI-Express graphics slot (Recently introduced)\n\nAlso, each slot has a different design.  So you can't place a card for one type of slot in a different type.  It won't fit, making it physicaly impossible without cutting and grinding (damaging the card beyond repair)

AGP or Accelerated Graphics Port succeeded PCI or Peripheral Component Interconnect as a technology to connect graphics cards to a computer's motherboard. PCI is still used to connect other devices like ethernet and sound cards.\n\nAGP slots provide a dedicated link between the card and the CPU and thus providing faster communication between them.  There are other enhancements as well.  See the source for more.  But the bottom line is that AGP cards perform much better.\n\nBut now AGP is getting phased in favor of PCIe or PCI Express which is even faster and can be used as the bus for all the devices in a machine.

A Crypto Accelerator board is a PCI-based SSL accelerator board. It is a dedicated hardware co-processor solution that off-loads the SSL functions from a server's CPU, thereby freeing the CPU to perform other tasks and increasing the processing speed for secure transactions.

http://en.wikipedia.com is going to be your friend on this one. You have AGP (phasing out), PCI, ISA (retired), EISA (retired), PCI-X (66Mhz PCI bus), PCIe (also known as PCI express).

A GPU is a Graphics Processing Unit, like the book said, it is a processor made specially for graphics.\n\nA GPU is a part of a graphics card. A graphics card usually also has its own memory to be used with the GPU instead of the system memory.\n\nAnd as a note, its considered rude to type in all caps. It's considered yelling online, and can be harder to read.

VGA just means that the card will plug in via a VGA port (the blue plug that most monitors have had until recently.). PCIe stands for PCI Express and that is a type of port inside your PC called an expansion slot. Its the place you insert the graphics card into. an SLI ready video card means that it can be linked with another video card on a compatible motherboard so you can use two video cards at once, improving the performance of your computer and allowing for more monitor connections.

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!

Insert is a card that is randomly placed in packs.  A sport card company will put 1 card in a box and that means 1 in like 36 packs.  That card is then an insert.  Sometimes they do 1 per case or even less and the inserts become quite rare - they become chase cards.  This is used to help entice people into 'chasing' the card and buying more packs, boxes or cases.
