Well this starts with my gfx card slowly going to crap. Basically its not keeping up and blah blah blah, so I am looking into replacing it. However, all these new cards comming out are only "PCIE Compatible", and I really have no clue if my MB can support PCIE....

I have a P4P800 SE motherboard, does anyone know if it supports PCIE? I know it has some PCI expansionslots. If not, what would I have to do to get some PCIE support...Hopefully it does not entail purchasing a new MB..

Thx

PCI-E is a new standard though if the board is more than a year old it probably doesnt support PCI-E also if you are using AGP then it doesnt for sure.

I checked it doesnt you will have to get an AGP card so get a good one it will probably be the last you have for that motherboard.
