Solve : Motherboard Slot Upgrades??

Answer»

I have an INTEL MOTHERBOARD with pentium 4 processor but it does not have a pci or agp slot for a video card upgrade. is it possible to have either one installed onto my board so i can upgrade my video card or am i out of luck?You're out of luck.serpico145......Whats the model # of your mobo .........
I dont think you can add a pci or agp .........what slots do you have ? pci Express?

dl65 What is the model number of the motherboard? Then we can advise. (We don't read minds, however.) All i know at the moment is that it's a "Genuine Intel Motherboard" with Intel D 2.80GHZ 533MHZ CPU OEM and pentium 4 processor. The slots that exist are a light cream color and there are three of them, one on top of the other. I have tried a pci express with no luck.Download and run Belarc Advisor (free at www.belarc.com) It will identify the motherboard make and model. I am amazed you don't know this yet, but you soon will.Thanks MATE. Here's what i found: Board: Intel Corporation D845GVFN AAC77641-104
Serial Number: FCFN44604989That board has onboard Intel Extreme Graphics and three PCI EXPANSION slots, so PCI Express and AGP are out, and a PCI card is the only option.

If the onboard graphics are not enough (say for gaming) you can look at a high end PCI card, but for all normal functions, it should work just fine - internet, office, e-mail, etc.yeah it does work fine. But there are few games that won't run on the on board card. So, are you saying that those three off white or light beige colored slots are pci slots?Yes, standard PCI slots. Guaranteed.
