Video card compatibility???

I have a Geforce 5200 FX vid card right now (AGP 8X) and i want to know if my pc (Dell Dimension 4600) can support a PCI express card

If it can, can it also support variants such as pci x16, etc.??



Thanks|||No PCI Express support there sorry. But that does not mean you cannot upgrade your graphics, you can still get a much better card than what you have for AGP. I would go with this one:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… about 5x more powerful than what you have now. I wouldn't go with anything higher though, then you might have trouble running it with your current power supply.|||No, you have a agp slot not a pci-e or 16x sorry.|||Dell Dimension 4600 is a value PC. I not sure that it support PCI-E 16X.



One thing, AGP 8X is a old inteface for graphic. It slot is not fit the PCI-E 16X, 8X etc. It not working.



Looking a job?

The 4000 series line of Dells were probably the last to carry AGP before they switched over.|||I can't exactly answer that question for you, but I can guide you on how to find out. You need to find the specs for the motherboard that your PC is using. It's as simple as that. It should tell you the kind of slots it uses, such as: AGP 8x, PCI, or PCI-Express x16. Based off of this information you can look for the correct kind of graphics card. The 5200 FX as you said uses an AGP slot, while most newer cards are using PCI-E or just the regular PCI.





From the information that I gathered (only looked for about 10 minutes), is that you should have 3 PCI slots, and one AGP slot. If this is correct information, you won't be able to get the newer PCI-E x16 slot cards, just the PCI. I hope this helps.|||if it says agp then it works on ur computer but if it doesn't no i will not. because your expansion slot is AGP.
