PCI Video Card

[Kero_1116]

I have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R and I am going to sell my video card. But I will need a temporarily video card. I have an old PCI (non PCI-express) video card in my basement and was wondering if I can use it temporarily before i get a new one?

Thanks

No reason why you couldn't. I think most of us have a spare PCI card for just such a purpose.

Knowing a little more about your system would be helpful in telling you any specifics (always remember to post specifications if you don't have them listed in your signature), but if the card's still functional it will at least display graphics and let you boot. Whether it's supported under your operating system isn't discernible from the information I've got, but if you're running Windows you'll at least get unaccelerated video good enough for word processing or simple web pages. A little more info will go a long way.

Should work fine. I sold my old BFG 6600GT OC (PCI-E) and put in an old school PCI card from like 1998 lol.
