Hi group,

Is there a way to determine,

or, perhaps I have ... both?, althougth I think this last condition
is
not possible.

* If I have both, could I configure wich one I shall use?

When I see Device Manager, see by conection,
I see PCI, then after it, I see AGP controller before my monitor
items, but, I think, that in principle, only PCI controller cant help
any AGP graphics Card.

All computers have PCI slots. Most computers have an AGP slot (there is
only one) for the graphics card. If you have an AGP controller listed
in Device Manager, then your computer has an AGP slot. What is the
make/model of your video card? It will be listed in Device Manager
under the Display category?

What are you trying to do? I'm afraid I don't understand your last
paragraph.
