pci cards

[Official Techie]

are pci cards still in existence if yes suggest me a good one

[nishant_nms]

what do u mean by PCI cards? Do u mean Graphic PCI card. If so then they are now non-existent in the market.
all other addon cards like soundcard, modem, etc. are available in pci, they have not moved to pci-x

[eagle_y2j]

PCI (peripheral component interconnect) is running technology in market for many devices like PCI modem,Sound Card ,PCI-wifi,Lan cards and much more and till now every mobo is coming with atleast 2 slots..........

Hence Proved that pci cards still in existence

You can get a PCI graphics card but it won't be any good for newer games.

[Darthvader]

Well stretch it to around 7k and u will get a 6600gt which is the best bang for buck card available

[Official Techie]

will this card be suitable for agp slot and will all latest games run on it

[drvarunmehta]

You have a 815 mobo which means you have a Pentium III processor and SD RAM. No matter which graphics card you buy, you can't play games because the rest of the system is really slow. You'll just have to buy a whole new rig.

i have p4 2.02 ghz and underground runs on it

[drvarunmehta]

But didn't you write that you have an 815 mobo? Then how come you have a P4?

[Official Techie]

see i have p4 512 ram 80 gb hdd 845 mobo but it supports only pci cards but 815 also supports agp cards so i would like to buy one agp card

I fear dat the older 815 mobo has 2x AGP nd todays 8x cards are only compatible on 8x or 4x slots. Even the voltages employed on 1x/2x and 4x/8x are different.

So i suggest get a cheap 845 mobo with AGP slot nd buy a Gcard say a 6600non GT. Dun waste money on GT as the other system config is low nd u can't utilize it to the maximum nd a 2Ghz intel proc is bare min for todays games.
