To Install an AGP Add-on card

Your computer has one open AGP expansion slot. This slot enables you to install an AGP card to enhance your system's
graphics capabilities. The length of the AGP card should not exceed 9.05 inches.

Installing an AGP card disables the internal graphics. Your system supports graphics cards that use AGP 4X standards.
