When there is no slot for an AGP, it means your PC is using intergrated graphic card ( shared or unshared menory with RAM). You have no way to add an AGP graphic card without this slot ^_^

If the physical slot is missing then its not something that you can add on your own. You will need to check with the vendor that you purchased your motherboard from to see if this motherboard was supposed to have an AGP slot, and if it did get it replaced.
Other then that some motherboards don't come with AGP, so you may need to get another motherboard.

An AGP card can basically paintings in an AGP slot, and a PCIe card can basically paintings in a PCIe slot. in case you had the incorrect card, you may discover that it does not even slot interior the slot, because of the fact categories connect in any different case. in case you basically have standard PCI slots, then it remains achieveable to discover a video card for them that works ok, yet practically all extreme-end pictures enjoying cards are designed for PCIe, or AGP. it quite is amazingly marvelous that your motherboard does not have a sort of slots, even regardless of if it quite is 5 years previous. maximum motherboards have had them on account that approximately 2003, the only exceptions are some elementary motherboards designed to be offered as place of work or college computers. All i can propose is getting a clean motherboard, in case you comprehend somebody who can set it up (or in case you sense advantageous doing it) or seek for yet another computer, possibly you're able to desire to %. one up affordable at a working laptop or computer exchange-meet or discover one on ebay. stable video enjoying cards are exceptionally costly besides.
