Is it just me, or is finding out whether or not your motherboard's expansion slot(s) is/are AGP or PCI-compliant not on the site?

Why don't you open it and see what slots it has?

I didn't see it on there..
also, no idea what an AGP looks like, but since warrior reccomended it i will most likely settle with that one
edit: found a cheaper one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131412

It looks different than a PCI slot.
Your computer is too ghetto to have PCI-E.
As Shout said, open it up and take a look.
The second card that Tazo linked to looks pretty neat, but make sure it's compatible.

"Too ghetto."
No, I dont see any AGP slots (2 divider things inside of the box connector) I do see 2 of these things tho, look like this

Yep, PCI then. That card looks fine, btw.
What's the difference between PCI and PCI-e? Will a PCI-e card run on a PCI slot?
I'm no expert, but I think its the other way around. Reverse-compatable, not forward-compatable.
By the way, I need one too, and my range is only $75, or $100 from Walmart/Best Buy.
I need a PCI card.
I'm trying this one, Joe.

Uhhh.... no. PCI-E is an entirely different standard than PCI. It only retained some hardware architecture similarities; the actual connectors are incompatible.
