MarxSoccer that link don't work either

Not all Dells are pci. All computers have pci slots. Its that dell gives you a cheap mobo in which you got integrated video card there for you dont need a agp/pci-e. The only reason they dont make more pci card is because sorry to say it they just suck. Look at it this way the bandwhith of agp is 4x and 8x..pci-e goes all the way to 16x and pci only goes 1x which is REALLY slow...


All those link are working fine I dont know what your talking about.

if those are the specs of your comp u have a pci-e slot which is a million times better than a pci slot, get a pci-e card...

 

[Berthacomputer]

no i went onto the dell website and there the specs of some comps
P.S. How do i find out what my PC takes PCI or PCI-E

 

[joxley1990]

You shouldl realy think about a new mobo, then a new video card, PCI-e, you would be happy.

 

[Berthacomputer]

What's a mobo and also i think all dell comps have a PCI-E slot but i want to make sure that mine has one

 

[G35x]

A mobo is short for motherboard. No, not all Dells have pci-e. To find out if you have one just open your case up and look for a pci-e sign it will say "pci16x" Should look like the big one in this picture...
