Installing PCI Card in a AGP MoBo

[rbdragon]

Can anyone tell me how to replace a AGP Video Card with a PCI Video Card? And no I don't mean PCI Express.

1. Take out AGP card
2. Put PCI card in PCI slot.

Take the AGP card and cut off some connectors to make it fit into the PCI slot.



































I'm kidding. Dont do it!

Uninstall AGP cards drivers, remove AGP card, put in PCI card, check init boot device is set to PCI, boot up, install PCI card drivers.

Also, don't forget to change the setting in the bios to initialize the pci card first.

Probably best to make sure init boot device is set to PCI before pulling the AGP card, but otherwise that is a good plan.

Make sure to check the flux capaciter on the GO-board, connect the main line from the power, reroute the rails to ensure stability, double check your work and your home free.

seriously you should be able to just plug and play. That's what I did on my PCI-E mobo. I got a Matrox Mystique PCI 2MB running in there coz I can't afford a 7800 and I wanna wait for R520 for more price drop.
