ow do I find out if my computer has an AGP slot? Without opening it?

Answer 1

You go to the company who built your PC and look up the specs!

Answer 2

Well....opening it would sure make it easy...But since you asked WITHOUT, this is what I would do. Click on google search and enter your exact brand and model number, then AGP

E.G. Hewlett Packard X7950 AGP. If you get a few hits and it discusses the AGP slot on the motherboard, then BINGO. It might mention the chip set or standard board for that model and you can expand your search, followed by the AGP keyword...perhaps you could look for video card upgrades for your model and see if retailers prompt you to buy a PCI or AGP. I am sure manufacturers have done the research and already advertise. Short of asking a local repair tech...who might not know anyway...cracking the box maybe your only other opp. Hope this helps

Answer 3

if you are using windows xp, try typing "msinfo32.exe" from the "RUN" window, invoked by the windows key plus the "R" key.
Search under the "conflicts/shared resources " tab and if you see you have an agp bridge, you could have an agp slot available if it's not already used by your graphics card.
You can also try the advanced tab on your desktop "properties" section, which can tell if the adapter is mounted over the agp or pci bus.

Answer 4

check on your receipt, they should have all the spec,

e.g : K9N diamond ABC mother.

or when u boot up, press " break " button,

and write down the model of the mother board,

then search online and check on company web site,

and u will get everything.

e.g : 2 PCI, 2 PCI express, AM2 socket , mcp55xe south bridge chipset....................
