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?

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.

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?
RLY...?

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.

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