    Default Need help on SLI.

    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.

    cheers, but does that mean that even if i had an agp and a pci slot , i couldnt use two cards and engage the SLI?

    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.
