okay call me stupid

well, might as well

what are the ports for graphics cards in order from least to greatest?
i was under the impression agp was the best

and on another note, what is the cheapest ddr2 memory that will work with my dell 8400 3.2? thanks

You mean slots they go into? ISA -> EISA -> Pci -> AGP -> PCI-E 16x

Note ISA isnt used anymore so you dont have to worry about those.

For the DDR2, the best cheap RAM I've ever had was Gigaram. I bought some for my laptop, 512MB, has yet to even hiccup

Stupid












Lol j/p

Ah man, I was going to do that!

Anyway, If I remember right, Fry's had a deal a while back on DDR2, might still be going, IDK. Worth it to check.

You left out a couple things:

There are 2 form of ISA: 8 bit (with ooooold 8086) and 16 bit ISA. Also there's MCA but that's pretty much limited to IBM PS/2 series and it's long obsolete so you may never see one around unless you raided a computer swap meet.

Finally when 486 came around, there were 32 bit VESA slot. It was short lived opartly because the entire board would have to be really loooong to use the entire slot while PCI is far smaller. Plus VESA is a touchy design, often time if you have more than one VESA card installed you'll get unstable system.

Finally whatever happened to PCI-X? Not the same as PCI-E but slightly older.
