Graphic Accelerators - PCI or AGP ?


Expert: Bobbert - 9/14/2009

Question
Hi

I have Intel 82845 motherboard. I am looking to purchase a graphic card so that i can play games with better graphics like Serious Sam II encounter, Painkiller, Age Of Empire 3 etc.

When i look at the mother board i can see 4 PCI slot and 1 AGP slot.

Please advise whether i can go for a PCI graphics card or i have to stick with an AGP card ?

Answer
With this motherboard, your options are limited to AGP or PCI (PCI Express being something different entirely), based on that, I would suggest an AGP based card, there should still be a few HD 2600XT's or 7600GT's for AGP floating around out there. Check Newegg.
