I just bought a Geforce FX5200 video card and i want to install it on my emachines t2885. I see a place on the motherboard where it says "AGP Port", but all i see are these circular metal dots maybe about 2mm in diameter. there are maybe 20 of them.
Can i still install it? I heard the video card is built in to the motherboard,so if i can install it will i be able to disable the other video card?|||This really depends on if your machine has an AGP slot. It sounds like it doesn't. I looked your system up on the eMachines website and it doesn't say anything about expansion slots. I am guessing it has no PCI or PCI-E slots and the AGP slot, although the motherboard could support one, your model does not have one.
Since there is no expansion capability, I think you are out of luck on upgrading the video.|||If you don't see a brown card slot next to the white pci slots,
Then your motherboard has no AGP slot for upgrades.
I saw some with and some without at the eMachines site.
If yours is the one without, I would strongly recommend getting
a newer PC for gaming.
Sorry about the bad news.

You have the manual right? there should be a picture of the board there. If theres no AGP port inside you'll have to go with a PCI video card, that is, if you have a free PCI slot. Should always make sure you have a slot to put your card into before you buy the card!
