Card upgrade help

[Royc]

I am looking to upgrade my Graphics card but am not sure what type of card slot I have in my PC. My current card is a Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT and the motherboard is a Nvidia nForce3 Ultra 939 pin. I need to find out if the slot is PCI or PCI express.
Thanks for your help.

Who is the manufacturer of the board, as looking around the slot appears to be AGP.

Not quite sure what you mean here - the board is an Nvidia one so are they not the manufacturer? Thanks

Royc, download and run CPU-Z, look at the mainboard tab, find out your motherboard model, google it for the product page to find. If you download and run GPU-Z that should tell you if its AGP or PCI-E too in bus interface section.

Many thanks, I have run CPU-Z and the Motherboard is an nforce4, manufacturer is Eveshamvale (it is a Evesham PC). It also says in the Graphics interface section that it is PCI Express so I guess that is it. I will have a gander inside just to make sure.

Does it not have a code in the motherboard Model field?

No, the model field is greyed out!

Just to cloud the issue I have dug out the specs for my PC and it says that it is a Nvidia 6800 card but the system and CPU-Z says it is a Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT!!!!!!

Almost easier to get a new PC LOL.

use gpu-z

Thanks for that, GPU-z is also showing it is the 7800 GT so I guess Evesham must have upgraded from the stated specs.

and what does it say in the "bus interface" field?

The Graphics interface field say PCI express so it looks like I am OK to upgrade!
Thanks for your help.
