magruno Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Is there a way to find out if graphics card is agp or pci? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawtai Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 open up your box and look. The agp slot is a longer brown slot. But if you bought your comp in a store and it's a compaq or HP, then it's most likely got integrated video. So you would need PCI vid cards to upgrade. If you got it from dell or gateway, it most likely has an agp slot. But easiest way to find out is to open it up and look for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has onboard video and no AGP slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my laptop has a AGP video card and it is intergrated, but it is still AGP, it just uses a differant connector :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmd3x Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 You can have an onboard card that is an AGP, but since it is onboard, of cource you don't see the long brown slot (I have a onbaord AGP video). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
