I recently bought a 7800 GS OC AGP graphics card. I see it has SLI capabilities but how can you use it? I only have 1 AGP slot and no Pci express slots so how can i use another graphics card?

Is there such a thing as a mother board with PCI-E and AGP?

Also note that while the 7800 GPU is SLi-capable, this only applies to the PCI-e version.

Sos bout the 2 topics, they both started off separate but kinda merged.


I have :
*Celeron 3.06, 478 (big pile of ******)
*AGP Geforce 7800 GS OC 256mb
* 3 gig DDR2 Ram
*D865PERL, AAC40926-202, Intel C (Socket 478) Motherboard (also a big pile of ******) :)

My brain hurts!

See thats the thing, i didnt think agp were capable either, but the card comes with sli software and thats what confused me. I've been doing some reasearch and your right i cant see anywhere that it its SLI ready, they must've shipped it with the same software as the pci-e version.

Seriously thanks for all the help, i could've ended up spending a lot of money on a usless mother board.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
