I wanted to upgrade my video card on my Gateway PC. It is a 5310 model, with an intergrated video card. I went out to Circuit City, and bought myself a GeForce 6200 AGP graphics card. Got home, opened up my computer, and found out that I didn't have any AGP slots
So, I went back to Circuit City, and exchanged it for a GeForce 6600 PCI card. Finally, I can go home and enjoy my new video card, or so I thought.
I opened up my computer again, and was ready to put in the card when I realized something about the slot...
^^ There's the slot ^^
And there's my brand new video card, obviously backwards.
If you look closely at the pictures, you'll see that there is no possible way for my card to be put into this computer! What the hell is this! Isn't there a rule somewhere saying "Don't build your shit backwards"
What am I supposed to do? Is there anything that could remedy this problem?
I would appreciate any help,
