| 569582 | 2007-07-17 06:41:00 | I am a dill, i brought a video card off eBay, not realizing they are differant types of connections, is there such a thing as an adaptor to put in the VGA slot ? | Ron40 (10475) | ||
| 569583 | 2007-07-17 06:46:00 | There's AGP, AGP Pro, PCI, PCI-E. And most probably others. What kind of slot does the mobo (whats the model/brand of the mobo), have and what kind of videocard did u get?? |

| 569584 | 2007-07-17 07:04:00 | Thanks for answering me, it is a ASUS P4P800-S. | Ron40 (10475) | ||
| 569585 | 2007-07-17 07:12:00 | Ok, that mobo has an AGP port, and 5 PCI slots. And what kind of videocard did you get?? ISA or PCI-E, or something? What do you mean by VGA slot?? Its either an AGP port, or PCI slot. Those are the only slots on your mobo. |

Its either an AGP port, or PCI slot. Those are the only slots on your mobo. I just checked the reciept its a ASUS GF7100GS PCIE. Sorry i meant the [brown] slot were the video card normally goes into. |
