Re: PCIE Graphics Card Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

Intel 848P is the chipset on the motherboard, not the motherboard itself. Do
not confuse PCI and PCIe - they are different standards. PCIe is new, PCI
has been around for many years. AGP is a modified type of PCI slot, and
again which your system supports depends on the motherboard.
