My friend has just got an Nvidia Geforce MX 4000 AGP Card. And finally we discovered that he has an intel D845GVSR mobo which does not contain any AGP slots. It contains only PCI slots. Please tell if some sort of AGP to PCI converter is available or any other possibility.


Thanks

NO man
Sorry theres nothing can be done abt it
Even few of frnds got upset by same
Any ways they managed to return the card to the delear frm were they purchased
One of my frnd went for mobo upgrade
!!!!!!!!!
So only this can be done abt such cases

u can buy a pci gfx card, a geforce4 mx 4000 pci card is available on ebay.in, but i dont think the performance will match tht of an agp card.
still if u dont want a mobo upgrade, thts the best option

But still think tht upgrading to a mobo having good onboard will be better idea...

Totally agree.
Either return the card to dealer, buy new mobo or sell it 2 someone.
