Graphics CARD

[Rockstar]

OK so Ive just got a 8800 and when I go to fit it , dosent acually fit into the slot .... Im a n00b so yer and yes It is compatiable!

[Recursion]

Sounds like you got an AGP motherboard with a PCI-E card...

You were silly not to check all this out before you bought the card.

If it doesn't fit into the slot then how is it compatible? :S

[N!ck]

What colour is the slot you're trying to fit it in?

[Rockstar]

white...

[Recursion]

Thats a PCI slot then... not PCI-E.

Could I replace it with a PCI-E

Sounds like you're trying to fit it into a PCI socket, however some PCI-E sockets are white though. Is there not a socket with another graphics card already plugged in?

Those white slots are PCI.

Theres a graphics card in there, looks like AGP to me. You cannot use your 8800 card in that computer.

Looks like you have a graphics card already in there plugged into an AGP socket (the brown one). You need to buy an AGP graphics card if you want a new one.

[Rockstar]

So what would I need

[Recursion]

An AGP graphics card... It is very hard to find a decent one for AGP nowadays.

Yes, but it's only an extra £10 to add an 8800GT into that PC through Dell anyway. I'd try sending the card back or sell it.

I'm not sure of a "street price" sort of thing. How much did you get it for and where from? And can you not take/send it back?

[Rockstar]

90.00 and Amazon

[Jordy]

90.00 and AmazonYou can usually send back to Amazon within 28 days, try read their policy's and what to do.

[Stephen!]

I don't think you can send it back simply because you dont like it

[Tomm]

Distance selling act says you can return it within 14 days if you, well, simply because you don't like it. As long as its in a resellable condition of cause.
