Happy me I bought myself a nice new dual G5 and have had it for about 2-3 weeks. Once apon a saturday morning I decided to see the stats in Apple System profile. I, having a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Spend some time looking for it. In a few seconds I stumbled apon it in a PCI slot... Aren't they suposed ot be a AGP card? Am I just stupid? Is that ed? Or is it a mixture of all of that?

    I believe AGP is based on the PCI spec and is usually controlled by the PCI controller. That's one reason that on most PCs you can use the AGP slot OR the closest PCI slot, but not both.

    Your video card is in the AGP slot, but an AGP slot looks similar to a PCI slot, so that's why you might be confused.
