Half size cards?

Basically what I'm saying is: that PC is a relic, dude. It's time for a replacement.
seriously. you'd be much better off buying/building a whole new rig than trying to upgrade that dinosaur

It was supposed to be the successor to the PCI port, but was doomed to destruction by PCI-Express. It was phased out around 2004-2008.

certainly learning a lot today, I know basics but I'm not as hardware savvy as anything else

used to be able to run blockland on this, but after i restored it a few months ago and with all these new graphics drivers it made me install, it can't even start up.

that motherboard can not handle a graphics card
it is only a regular pci slot
just buy another motherboard
see if you can find one that has the same socket as your current cpu and supports the same ram you currently have that has a pci express slot
if you you can you're a lucky bastard and you're gonna save a lot of money

I see what you're saying, I'd have to buy a new power supply too, though. I guess to do anything, I'll have to wait until I get money.

By the way, what exactly is the AGP port for then, if not a graphics card?

an agp port is for graphics cards
the point is
you dont have one
you only have a regular pci slot
you need a pci express slot

dude how old is your computer? that graphics card is ancient

So what is a pci slot for lol

Not sure where you see a graphics card, the picture with the card doesn't have the card actually installed.

a pci slot is for anything
but
the pci slot you have is so old that it cant support a graphics card
it would handle things like wifi cards, or a sound card
pci express is for graphics cards and other advanced addon cards

you know what, i actually had a wireless adapter in there a long time ago. that's the only reason that spot is open.

well, thanks a lot guys. this really helped and i learned a lot. i'll leave this open just in case or if anyone wants to discuss this further, but i understand what needs to happen.

What is your budget. You are better off buying a low end gaming comp that is capable of being upgraded. As your comp there reached its limit about a decade ago.

Its stuff cuz its cheap. But it can do most all games on low settings.
And it can be upgraded

I'm an unemployed high school student right now, but I am getting a job for sure soon, so if I get money, it'll be from a regular income. I'm probably gonna be able to wait until I can build a better build.

Time for a new PC
