PCIE express question
EHM-1838 Andrew:
Hello again
Apparently my motherboard has an AGP expansion card connector(obviously).But it also has Three 32-bit PCI expansion card connectors(i believe PCI is the old standard though)
cheers Andy
EHM-1617 Iain:
PCI and PCI-Express are different things.
Graphics cards used to run on PCI, then AGP, and now PCI express.
Normal expansion cards i.e. Sound Card, Modem etc. use PCI cards. New grapics cards will only work on PCI-Express and if you have an AGP socket you will not have a PCI-Express slot.
