Video Card Compatibility?

Just so I don't buy a non-compatible card for my desktop, what exactly am I looking at to make sure the card and the computer will match?|||Most important thing is the video card slot.

If you have a PCI express slot, you can fit only a PCI express card in there. If you have AGP, get an AGP card, etc.



Next is make sure your power supply is powerful enough to power the card.



Lastly, make sure it's compatible with your platform: Windows, Mac OS X, etc. but you can usually get drivers for the different platforms.|||you need to know what type of video slot your motherboard has (agp vs pci vs pci express)
