A little help for a computer noob..

I charge 65 dollars a post for useful information.

Someone owes me some money. >.>
<.<

j/k with you man. you're quite welcome.
 
Lol $65 im not paying up im running away to Mexico.

But on the more serious side is there a way that I can check if I have an agp or Pci slot without unskrewing my computer??

i've personally never seen anything other than a brown agp slot. most PCI's slots are white or an off white. That's normally what they are. Soyo's(or at least the computer i'm using at work right now) has purple ones. You can tell PCI slots easily man.

But no, not really. Yeah, you didn't ask about PCI but in case you wanted to i coverd that for you. :P
 
if it's that dusty you need to clean it out man....
just open 'er up and get all that dust out of there. dust is bad thing in your comp case.
 
I have a PCI slot and a AGP slot, Does this mean I don't have to woory about getting an AGP or PCI type of graphic card??
 
Pretty much. Everyone with an AGP slot will have a PCI slot. You're best off with an AGP video card :)
 
It says:
Bus Information :
Device : 82801BA/CA/DB/EB/ER (ICH2/3/4/5/5R), 6300ESB Hub Interface to PCI Bridge
Number of AGP connectors : 1
AGP enabled : No

What do they mean by "AGP Enabled: No" Does it mean I don't have an AGP slot??
And I think my current graphic card is in the PCI slot, Should i take it out when im going to be installing my new graphic card??

Well you could just look :D (and before you say it, you dont have to unscrew your computer) as for taking it out; your call, most likely yeah you'll want to take it out

But wouldn't it mess up my computer if I added a new card and kept the older one still in there?? (Unless it would improve my graphics) Or I could just sell the damn thing lol :)
 
No. You can have multiple video outs that way. Also, for workstation machines that double as gamer platforms, you can have a work-card and a gamer-card.

That's cool, Do you know if instructions come with the graphic card on how to install it?? I need instruction because i haven't installed a thing in my computerit's all stock. :o
