I just now thought about what slot I put my card in AGP. :confused1: Best Buy sold me an AGP card and it should be a PCI-e. I'm going back up there tomorrow and they should exchange it.

I thought they used AGP for crazy graphic design to make shit like avatar... I find this quite strange and amusing! Im betting the card isnt what it says on the box... some dude bought it put his 5 year old AGP card in it and brought it back saying it didnt work and they put it back on the self!! I hope you get your money back! Link to comment

No, I have no idea why, but they are still being made and presumably still being sold. I would bet that they are for the peeps that still have PCs with AGP graphics that have not / will not upgrade until their PCs are dead beyond recovery. EM Link to comment
THC Posted March 17, 2010 Content Count: 23 Joined: 03/16/10 Status: Offline Share Posted March 17, 2010 I feel like a complete and total R-tard. I didn't know there where different PCI-E slots I thought it was just one small slot. In the end, I figured out that I do have a PCI-E card, it's a x16 one, but I thought it was AGP because stated above I thought all PCI-E slots were small. Truly sorry for the confusion.
