    ----EDIT-- my bad sorry the card was AGP after all didn't even consider that possibility was sure I'd bought a PCI card years ago



    Hi

    It's been a long time since i've built a PC or even gone inside one and things have changed a bit so i'm a bit wary about the following.

    I want to put this - http://images.techtree.com/ttimages/story/XFX-GeForce6800GT-256-box.jpg - into this motherboard - MSI K9AG , http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2172 .

    The problem is the card won't fit into the slot. I'm pretty sure the card is PCI-Express and thought the motherboard had a slot for it but I guess not? The motherboard is too new to be AGP so what could it be? BIt confused....

    Thanks

    That box says AGP 8x on the front of it.
