Hi,

I did a search for this on here but I kept getting a “web site not responding” message so I guess I’ll just post my question...

I am planning on buying a new graphic card for my computer and the one that I am thinking about buying says it requires an AGP 2.0 slot, but I don’t know if my computer has that or not. Is there anyway of finding out if I do?

Thank you.You will NEED to find out your motherboard details, make, model etc. Then search the net to get the motherboard specifications to see if it has agp2 support.
Download & run 'Belarc Advisor', it should give you a good start.What is the name of your mainboard?

If you're lucky, and you have a modern mainboard, the AGP number may be displayed on the Northbridge fan. Which is LOCATED above the videocard. This may apply only to GIGABYTE mainboards.

There are THREE variants of AGP.

2X, 4X and 8X.

You will most likely only find 8X in stores. 2X is terribly outdated, 4X is reasonable and often backwards compatible with 8X.

Here is more information regarding AGP.Hi,

I know that my motherboards model number is AM37L and manufactured by FIC, I did a few searches and unfortunately wasn’t able to find out anything. I know that my computer has AGP 4x. I did read something that said that if I had an AGP 4x slot then it is AGP 2.0, I am not sure if that is correct, does anybody here know if it is true or not?

Thanks.AGP 2.0 is capable of the following speeds:

• 1x
     
• 2x
     
• 4x
