    EEEK!!! Then what one is that? im only looking at the picture and what it says in breif detail because i've always used ones that have a lil slot in the card and connect to the Highest Port - So i wont be able to use the ones i use?

    The ones with a small slot in them and connect to the highest Port on the mobo?

    This is what I mean, you need to sart learning about what you have, and what you can add to your current settup. You can easily buy the wrong part.

    I don't know on your mobo, but if you already have an AGP card then you will replace it with the one you buy.

    You don't want to buy a PCI or PCI-E card.

    At the top it says

    Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 VIA K8T800, S754, AGP 4x/8x, DDR 266/333/400, SATA I, SATA RAID, ATX

    AGP is there, and so is the GFX card. So it's good to go. Make sure you have the CPU for socket 754....

    On the scan page on the right, it says Hexus. I recommend you start having a read up.

    Should do the job. I know some 6600GT's have an extra power plug on the card itself, which needs a power lead running from the PSU. So a decent PSU might also be in order.

    On my card there is a plug at the side, and I have a power lead running from that to the PSU. My card is an XFX 6600GT overclocked out of the box, so I don't know if the standard version has it or not.

    This is exactly the reason you need to start learning...

    It means the card will work on a AGP 4x or 8x Mobo.

    But then you might have to fork out 50 quid for a new PSU. If it doesn't say then i'd email them or at least visit XFX's website and have a look. If it does infact need an extra power lead and you don't have one, then the card will run very poorly.
