jhusted doesn't seem to be online at the moment so I'll field this one.

 

Many motherboards come with a slot designed just for graphics cards known as an AGP slot.

 

For example...you have  "PCI" slots which can handle a video card designed for PCI, however if your motherboard has an AGP slot,it would be in your best interest to get a card designed for the AGP slot.

 

This is important because one will not fit in the other. The AGP slot is usually located above all of your PCI slots,and is offset (Moved back).

 

PCI slots are usually white, while AGP slots are usually brown.

 

Hope this helps.
