PCI in AGP

[apu95]

i have the radeon sdr as u can see in my sig and id like to know if i can plug it in an existing agp slot. im pretty sure i read somewhere that it could be done, but i need to make sure.

thx, Apu

PCI to AGP?
I don't think it is possible... is it?
Because AGP cards are manufactured differently to PCI cards, but I'm not entirely sure.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

No way. Different.

 

[RagnaroK]

Just as I thought...

 

[spikemic]

uhhhhhhhh hence the two different names.......pci slot, agp slot.........

 

[Sazar]

not only is architecture different but the bus speeds too... pci I believe is 33mhz v/s 66 for the ddr...

I can't see a pci device running in an agp slot

just buy a new card... they are pretty cheap out there...

[fedele]

with aid of a sledgehammer, and skill you will do it....try it...

 

[blinden]

no, actually, it won't run in a AGP, it WILL however run in an ISA or AMR slot... umm, or even one of those old Proprietary IBM thingy's that was onlike 4 computers.

 

[wahoo24jc]

While you are at it, maybe you would like to try DDR RAM on that board...should work just fine in those SDRAM slots!

 

[apu95]

lol, ddr in sdr? could be...
ill be sure to take a picture of each attempt at "fitting" the components...muhahaha.

I am confident that with a heafty budget and the proper micro electronics tools and parts, you can convert.

i dont wanna change agp to pci, i wanna know if it was possible to plug my pci radeon in an agp

 

[Friend of Bill]

NO, not possible. AGP to PCI or PCI to AGP. Apu can't do...!

 

[apu95]

ok ok, its clear that its not possible. anyone want to see if it fits?

heh heh heh
