Damnation! It doesn't have an AGP slot. And the card is integrated.
Curses! Curses!
I'm stuck with an "Intel P4 Extreme 32-bit 64MB" card.

Well, sorry about that
Maybe this card is well featured, dunno. Best wishes, then
I can't understand why manufacturers can do this kind of crap. They are kidding the buyer.
Next time you buy a computer: buy it in parts and have someone to build it. You'll have a great system for less money. You can also learn to build it, it is not difficult at all and you can even make money of it

I remember a few years back seeing prebuilt P300 64MB systems offering:
SUPERFAST INTEGRATED VIDEO CARD UP TO 64MB*!
*Uses system RAM
:lol:

Gotta love marketing.
What a lot of people don't realize about that is that accessing system RAM for video is VERY expensive (in terms of CPU cycles, not money, it's less expensive money-wise), but since such systems tend to run so cheap, no one really seems to care...

The thing is, when I bought the computer, (well, my Dad bought it - but I influenced his choices, I'm the only one who knows much about computers here), I didn't know anything about vid cards.
