ed209 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 PCI and PCI-Express are two very different interfaces. You can't make one work on the other. You'll need to sell your 6600LE and buy a compatible card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cran. Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Basicly what he said, or you need to get a new motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forfit Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Or hunt down the guy who sold it to you, and whack him across the face with it. Then buy an AGP card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond996 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I've done this before with getting a salesperson to guarantee me something. Scored a free $50(overpriced) DVI cable. Go back to the store, say you want to talk to the manager, make sure to have an adult with or, or just be one, and tell them that the salesperson assured you that this card would work in a PCI slot. Demand a full refund, and then buy an AGP card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
