Also, lol. I have another question.

I have a Sony Vaio PCV RS222, 512ram, geforce fx5200 128meg graphics card.

Is there any way of finding out if I use pc2100 ram or 2700 ( without opening the box and looking for a sticker ) - knowing my luck I would fry the thing messing with it.

When I checked on a site in the past it stated pc2100, but recently having gone to crucial.com and ran through the idiots guide for RAM type detection, it states pc2700.

ALSO, lol...If I got the geforce 6200 agp 8X will it run if mine is 4X - I dont know which mine is either.

Also when I right click on my dsktop, go to properties and go into the graphics card settings, it says that its location is "PCI Slot 6 (PCI bus 2, device 0, function 0)" - I think I have an agp card ( quite sure ) - so this is rather odd and doesnt make any sense.

Hope you can help.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the info and link, it was really helpful.

I now know that I have an AGP slot - yay - but it is only a 4X 1.5v.

Do you know if a Geforce 6200 256meg, designed to run on a 8X system will work on my 4X?

Thanks

Is the new card AGP or PCIE ?? Everything I can find on the card indicates a PCIE so, NO.. that won't work on your system unless you have a a PCI Extended slot..

Hi.

Its an AGP card, 8X.

It should work but will slow down to what your system can handle.. You may be better off getting an MX style card for your system..
