Hello to all again. I dont know if this is a new post or the continuation of an earlier one
but here goes anyway.I have purchased a new Graphics card a Saphire Radeon 9250
This appears to be a VGA connection I think ( 3 gold connectors in a line as opposed to 2
on a PCI card ) i hope I am describing this correctly :oops: . If this is the Case where is the
VGA slot on my ASRock K7M2 motherboard?? . Once I have installed this will this over-ride the Pro savage intergrated graphics card which is already active or will I have to disable this in control panel?? Thanks for your patients and help as usual Pete (Not so Sunny Devon UK)

That board should have a 4X AGP (<-- thats the slot your looking for) slot. They are most commonly the first slot on the board, above the PCI slots. You will need to disable the onboard video but you need to do this from your bios. I tried to find a pic of that board to show you the slot but i couldnt find one, i barely found the specs showing it has a AGP slot.
