tiger7881,

I don't know, but that doesn't sound exactly right. Maybe you need a new motherboard because your new card is PCI-E, and the mobo doesn't have that kind of slot?

If the card doesn't fit your mobo and you can't afford to replace it, why not sell that card and buy one that DOES fit?

Ed's right (as usual).

You bought a PCIe card if your board supports AGP you should have that.

Can you return the card, get a top AGP card and some money back.
If not the guy at tiger is correct.

It might be worth buying a new motherboard though, to keep yourself up with technology.

Can get one with PCI-e for as little as £35. What proccessor have you got? Do you know what socket it is?
