in that case then you cant have PCI-Express graphics you can only have a newer AGP graphics card

@ *agent47*
Just to make it clear incase you dont understand,a PCI-E card is physically bigger than an AGP card and not just a different specification.
You would need to buy a PCI-E compatable motherboard (which might mean a new CPU) and you also require a power supply capable of running PCI-E.
So your talking about upgrading all the major parts of your system before you could run it and not just a new graphics card.
As i said just a bit of info, if you knew some of that already no harm done.
