Just exchange it for an AGP card,if you got it through the mail that kinda sucks though-I hate to wait.

well, they may want to check it's gonna work after installation

just move anything dodgy away from the desktop and it should be ok

If AGP cards worked with PCI slots, we wouldn't need AGP slots now would we? :P

Do you mean you dont have ANY pci slots free (open) (meaning you have a shit load of add on cards in your pc) or do you mean you don&#39;t have any pci slots?
If it&#39;s the latter... look again, every computer (except for those olf 486&#39;s and stuff) have pci slots. Most new motherboards have at least 5 pci slots and 1 AGP slot.
Dunno whats happening with your computer. You shouldv&#39;e just bought an AGP card, they&#39;re faster than the pci graphic cards anywayz.

You physically cannot put an AGP card into a PCI slot.

Look.

And it&#39;s highly unlikely that your motherboard has no PCI slots, unless they are all full as AcidReign suggested.

You also said, "my PC has AGP slots" - I have never heard of a motherboard that came with more than one AGP slot. :blink:

Lamsey, use a little imagination.

A little work with a craft knife and hacksaw and you can fit anything to anything.
Don&#39;t tell me you haven&#39;t learnt how to lean on a board that doesn&#39;t want to fit. ;)

Yeah, did you know that if you seal up one of the notches in SDRAM with plasticine, you can put it in a DDR slot? :D
