Odds are that the card you are attempting to insert is a different form factor than the slot on your motherboard. The primary video slots today are AGP and PCI-Express. Make sure that your video card is the correct type for the slot and it should slide in without much force. See below images for identification purposes.

Will a PCI card work in an AGP slot of computer motherboard?

The PCI video card should work, but you may need to change a setting in your BIOS to recognize it. Enter "setup" when the computer starts, and look for a setting about video options. There is usually a setting indicating to seek an AGP or a PCI video card upon startup. NO! A pci video card will only fit into a pci slot in a motherboard. Likewise an agp will only fit into an agp slot. They are completely different. Both of these above answers are right and wrong. PCI and AGP are two totally different standards, but as long as you have an open PCI slot, you can use a PCI video card and opt not to use the AGP (Make sure to change appropriate options in your BIOS.) ==Answer == Yes you can use a PCI card where the slot is avaliable, but if your motherboard has a slot for AGP cards it is worth noting that the systemboard was designed with AGP in mind. It offers a system bus direct to the prossesor for faster unhindered communication.Running a PCI card on a AGP board may and probably will slow down your system performance.

Do all AGP video cards fit into the same slot on the motherboard?

No. PCI-E is typically a very light beige color and is for anything from video cards, to sound cards, NIC card, etc. An AGP slot ( Advanced Graphics Processor ) slot is no doubt specifically designed for Video cards. There are many different types of AGP ( 4x, 8x, etc ) and all were designed before the PCI-E had come out, to give the video card better speed than the standard PCI could handle.
