Graphics Card Problem

[Sera]

I need help! I have just bought a new G-Force 128 graphics card but its too big and too far back for the PCI slots on my motherboard. I take it this means this graphics card is not meant to go with my asus cusi-m motherboard? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers!

AFAIK, Cusi-M Motherboards don't have an AGP slot. I think all Geforce cards are AGP. Have a look on your motherboard. If theres a brown slot, then you have AGP. If you only have white slots, you only have PCI slots. If its the latter, then I'm afraiid you're out of luck. You either have to get a new video card (PCI), or a new motherboard (which most likely means you will have to also upgrade the CPU).

Cheers for that, I finally sorted it out. I swapped it for a PCI graphics card which are apparently slower, but its still working better than my onboard video card did.

To save any future hassles, you would be advised to throw your PC in the rubbish and buy a real computer.

Or save yourself the $4000 and buy something decent ....

(Actually, they would cost a hell of a lot more than that wouldn't they??)

Pretty typical comment from a PC user. You wouldn't have a clue how much an Apple machine costs.

For $4000 you could pick up a Powerbook that would **** all over most PC notebooks that cost you a hell of a lot more.

It's hard to know how much a PC costs as there are so many dodgy operators pumping out the boring, sub-standard, cheap-componented pieces of crap.

Zeke, Kingy, can we cut out the Macs vs PCs garbage please? It's an argument that no one will ever win. Stick to your preference and stop caring about what someone else thinks!
