2.14 Set Up Interface Card 
If there is no built-in VGA card in your system, you have to choose a suitable one.    Read 
this section carefully if you desire to install other interfaces (such as network card, modem 
card, image card, or 3D-acceleration card).  We take VGA card as an example to 
demonstrate how to set up an interface card.    The set-up of other interface cards is very 
similar.

This AGP socket, usually
brown, is a high-speed
interface specially designed
for VGA cards.
 
These are PCI sockets and 
usually white.    They can be 
connected with various 
interface cards. 
  AGP interface card: Generally only VGA
card applies to AGP interface.  However,
most 3D acceleration cards apply to AGP
interface as well after integrating the display
function.
 
 
 PCI interface card: Commonly seen are
sound-effect card, network card, modem card,
SCSI card, and image card.  Also, some
outdated display card or 3D acceleration card are
PCI-interfaced.
