AGP graphic card question.?

Im looking on ebay for an AGP graph card but there seems to be two different pin variations.(their pins arent in the same spot) they look like they would bothfit in my comp but one would have a little gap.

Look like this

1L................................... llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. lllllllllllllllllll and

2L................................... lllllllllllllllllllll.llllllllllllllllll. lllllllllllllllllll

so yea my slot looks like

SL.................................. (.............................) (..............)

so they look like they would both fit, but theres no little plastic divider to stop the first one from being able to be put in.

Does anyone have the same slot but with the 2nd card? working? becau8se most on ebay are the second kind.

    If your board does NOT have the little plastic thing, then you should be able to use either one, no problem. I believe the difference is between AGP1x and AGP4x boards.

    The first one is a 4x/8x AGP that fits the 1.5V slot. The second one looks like a 4x/8x AGP that fits either 1.5V or 3.3V slot. The 3.3V cards are 1x/2x AGP. Your motherboard may have the universal slot that accepts any AGP card.
