You have a customer who has a failed graphics card on his new computer. He can get a new one under warranty from the manufacturer, but while he waits for it to arrive, he wants you to temporarily install an AGP graphics card so that he can still use his computer for gaming. You tell him this is not a good technical option because of what?

A. Installing a card other than the one provided as a replacement by the manufacturer could void his warranty.

B. Not all AGP cards use the same type of AGP slot, and it may not fit the AGP slot on his brandnew motherboard.

C. His brandnew computer does not have an AGP slot, since AGP support on new motherboards has been phased out in place of PCIe support.

D. His AGP card is older and is too slow to support the AGP bus on his brandnew motherboard

Solution

C. Almost no modern motherboards support AGP, even though new AGP video cards continue to be made. Most likely, the original video card in his computer is PCIe compliant and his replacement graphics card will need to be a PCIe card.
