| 447679 | 2006-04-19 09:38:00 | Hey guys. Im trying to upgrade the graphics i have on my computer. And i want to find out what AGP port i have. This is what i know: -Its a Compaq computer, so i dont the the motherboard manual. -I know it is an AGP port cause its brown. So is there a site with pics of what the different AGP ports look like? Thanks |

| 447680 | 2006-04-19 10:02:00 | There's only 1 kind of AGP port I've seen, and thats it. Its brown. The others I think you're talking about are: PCI, and PCI-Express. Which are different slots, and use different video cards. I think there's AGP Pro, which is most probably the same colour. Info on AGP here (en.wikipedia.org) |

| 447681 | 2006-04-19 10:57:00 | what you have to watch is there are a few other ports that are also brown and can be in the same place on the motherboard . i had a one recently that was even the right length, it was actually 2 slots end on end . what model pc do you have? |

| 447682 | 2006-04-19 14:56:00 | My AGP slot is red. I have also seen blue, black, brown, yellow, orange and even purple. A slot cannot be accurately identifed by its colour, if one had absolutely no idea one could easily mistake a CNR or ANR slot for AGP as they are also commonly brown... |

| 447683 | 2006-04-19 15:05:00 | Anyway to find out what kind of AGP slot it is, the easiest way would be to download everest (www.bagpipes.net) and use that. A more accurate way would be to get the model of your compaq or the motherboard (everest can tell you) and search it on compaq.com to find out the exact specifics. |

| 447684 | 2006-04-20 02:26:00 | Um sorry if i didnt post it right but i meant like AGP X8 or X4 etc. | cl_metal_snake (10242) | ||
| 447685 | 2006-04-20 02:32:00 | Doesnt really matter if 8x or 4x, both are AGP 2.0 meaning they have the correct voltage for any agp card currently in production. You will not notice much if any difference between them and 8x is backward compatible | SolMiester (139) | ||
