Removing and Replacing a PCI Accessory Card
The HP Kayak XM600 has five 32-bit 33 MHz PCI accessory card slots and
one AGP slot on the system board. The AGP slot accepts standard 25 W
AGP video cards.
Higher power AGP PRO video cards cannot be used in desktop models.
Hardware Protection on the system board ensures that the system is
protected against this.
