The absolutely easiest way to determine what you have is to unplug the
computer and open the case. Look inside and see where the video card is
connected onto the motherboard. The AGP slot is short and brown and set
a bit away from the PCI slots, which are longer and a different color.

The 440 mx only comes as a pci card,agp wasnt available for it.Either way,if
you have a agp slot,buy agp,it gets exclusive rights to the board whereas a
pci has to share.Thus agp is much faster,if the board doesnt have agp,you
probably should think about upgradeing it,boards w/o agp are not performance
gaming boards....

It's _usually_ short and brown but the last system I built (Soyo DRAGON
board*), it was purple; the system before, navy.

In fact, this is the first system I have put together where it has actually
been brown!

*On the same board, the PCI slots were lime green and orange, the memory
slots yellow and red and the CPU socket (no idea why, obviously you couldn't
see it) bright blue. The board itself was silver. I suppose it was the time
when Perspex panels were popular and it was more aesthetically pleasing than
a dull green board with white and brown slots.

Once again, you prove your f***wittedness. How do I know you're talking
complete BS? I beta tested XP MCE. The first system we were given had a
GeForce 4 440mx. It was an AGP card.

It is available as both a PCI /and/ an AGP.

Check your facts before posting.
 
The only thing you have ever "beta tested" are the meds that you never take
to make you coherent.
 
well, i think they have both, i looked one up on the net and i believe they
had both, my slot is about 1/2 inch tall, about 2" long and about 2 " away
from housing, and is brown. does this help
 
The definitely have AGP cause I've got one.
