The video card on this computer is an: MSI MS-8878 GeForce4 MX 420
It's kinda old so I was simply wondering what slot this is taking up so I know what I am able to replace it with. Is it a PCI Express or something else? Nevermind it said AGP 4x. Does that mean I can only replace it with an AGP 4x card? There are no pci express slots on my motherboard also, just 3 open pci slots. This post has been edited by RPinney: May 21 2009, 03:24 PM |

Cool, I was thinking that too and it's way cheaper.
If you don't mind me asking, how do you feel about that rebate? Strange it is not shown on the items page like it usually is for newegg. $40.00 is a lot to just keep it hidden like that. This post has been edited by RPinney: Jun 9 2009, 07:49 PM |
