Listen. You own to be very diligent when you buy graphic cards. If your motherboard supports AGP symbolic card and you buy PCI-Express type of grahpic card, it would not fit in. How do you know if your current symbolic card is AGP or PCI-Express? Go to [Start] -> [Run] -> Dxdiag (Enter) Then go to "Display" Tab and see if it supports AGP (it will voice 2x,4x,8x or etc.) So check that first. Once you know your mother board supports PCI-Express bus, you can open up the computer and see where on earth the thing is. Find your moniter cable and track it down to the computer basis. Open up the case, and see which device the cable is connected to. That's right. You a short time ago found your video card. So that's where your alien video card will be installed.
Only newer motherboards have PCI Express slots. The slots are located on the motherboard itself (which is inside the case).



Don't catch PCI Express confused with regular PCI...they are totally different.
PCI_Bus is the place you shove the videocard surrounded by, it is brown and on the inside of the computer, but let somebody do it for you, might be shareholder
On the motherboard. Are you capable of gap up your computer, removing the existing graphics card, and installing a new one?



More importantly, do you know if your mobo supports PCI Express? And is it Express x1, x2 or x16? Your mobo have to support precisely the correct one. And it should not be taken up by something like a nouns card.
