New AGP Card won't Work

Sep 5th, 2003

Hi,

I have a Celeron 300MHz of 1998. Recently I bought an AGP Card to replace the one in it. But when I installed it, it won't work. I checked the AGP card. It is alright and works when installed in another system. I have no reason to suspect that the slot is bad. Then what could be the reason? Is my old AGP slot obselete and has to be upgraded ? Is it something like that? Do new AGP cards work with old AGP slots?

sounds like it is the motherboard/aGP not able to use the newer faster AGP,your old one is most likely 2x and the new one 4x or even 8x .You will need a new board /cpu and ram,to use the new card .

yep, sounds like it is just too goold of a card for the board. if it is geforce 4, redeon 9000+ or any other newer card it may not work.
stuff is cheap get a new mainboard and CPU
