ok this might be a kinda noobish ? but w/e. do u need a specific qualifications for ur mobo to use pci express cuz i heard there twice as fast as agp ie agp=8x pci express 16x??? so do u need anything else really other than a nonretarded comp and a free pci slot???
PCI-express is a different slot to the standard PCI slots. Therefore, only newer MoBo's are fitted with one (if at all, as some still only have AGP). A PCI-Express graphics card will not physically fit into a standrd PCI slot (and it wouldn't work, even if you filled the card down with a nail-file so it did fit! )
well by now i f-in hate my comp i thought i was all big and bad wit my new otaly rad pc when i bought it then i found out alot more bout comps (but im still kinda illiterate) and i saw that my cant handle this kinda cpu cuz it can only handle 256k l2 chache and it doesnt have an agp slot then i dont have dual channel and all thsi other bullcrap so between just as i started typing this post im seriously considering getting a new comp any suggestions under about 1200 us dollers AND NEVER AGAIN I WILL BUY A EMACHINES even though they give u timely and much appriciated tech support BUT THEY STILL SUCK BIG HAIRY MAN U KNOW WUTS!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! k im done o ya and preferably a gameing comp and if not ill by more ram and a new vid card thx
I read that in pc gamer that the pci express slots have little effect on gaming so I dont think im going to opt to build a whole new system just for that.
Even though you can play HL2 and FarCry full blast?
AND NEVER AGAIN I WILL BUY A EMACHINES even though they give u timely and much appriciated tech support BUT THEY STILL SUCK BIG HAIRY MAN U KNOW WUTS!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Yes, your motherboard needs to be able to support PCI Express, you can add a PCI Express card to a motherbaord without PCI Express capabilities. Most new high-end mobo's offer this.
well i was just mad cuz in like a 3 hour period im hearing all about this stuff about how i dont have much stuff on my comp and i never said that i could play farcry on full blast i asked if my vid card was farcry worthy so i never implied that in anyway wut so ever but i did say half life 2 but only lag on massive explosions and a couple settings on the right were on abut medium and sry but the sudden random outbursts
