Regarding Switching Video Cards

[stryfestryfe]

I recently bought a new computer, and i want to switch the video card from this new computer (Geforce 6150 LE) to the one from my previous computer.

I have a Radeon 9800 Pro video card on my old computer.
Is this possible? apparently the Radeon card is AGP according to my friend and the motherboard on my computer is pci-e, and you they aren't compatible?

can someone shed some light on this subject for me please? As this grahpics card i have on my new machine is really slow and won't handle the games I play.

Because one is AGP and the other is PCI-E, you cannot interchange them. If your new PC has a slow graphics card, you'll just have to get a better PCI-E card for it.

The 9800 is and AGP card. Your new system doesnt have an AGP slot. Its PCI-e.

In the US this is a deal,

BFG 7600 GT OC for $80 after rebate. It doesn't need a whole lot of power either.
