Hello, 

I had radeon hd7700 which stopped working. Since I don't feel like vuying new GPU right now I wanted to plug in radeon hd3450 which I had laying in storage. 

 

It seems like it doesn't fit in the GPU socket, but I thought PCI is backwards compatible.

 

There are multiple sockets I believe I have tried most of them.

Oh okay didnt hear of AGP ever. Thanks

If you're curious, AGP is the old standard used by graphics cards; LazyGameReviewer & other retro tech focused channels have some neat videos of them

Pretty sure LTT might mention them somewhere as well, can't think of a video right away though..

When the PC is acting up haunted,

who ya gonna call?
