Google your motherboard to find out if its AGP, PCI, or PCI-E
If its AGP I have my old old card you can have. 512mb Ati 9800Pro. |

You could open up your computer and just check the ports or look for the model number and google it.
or if your feeling lazy, download belarc advisor at: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html When you run that it will give you all the information about your computer |
