I have just bought a new graphics card.Ge Force 215 AGP. My old one was only 65. My mother board has an AGP slot. If I had bought a vidio card for a PCI card leaving the AGP slot blank would the comp work. Also I have been told that AGP is old now and PCI is the latest. I do not want to change my motherboard just for that. Is the AGP card i bought just as good?

Trust me it was 65 or 64 will have to look at my screen grab from dxdiag I made just before I changed it. Cant say i have noticed much of a difference. Don't know too much about computers. My son thought it would be a good ides to upgrade it as his HD videos files via Pinnacle jump every few seconds and a warning comes up to alert you to that fact. Must say have not had time to check out this new card yet to see if that has cured it. What would you have bought?
