What kind of graphics card can I buy? I have this computer http://www.epinions.com/pr-Sony_VAIO_PCV...lay_~full_specs It says: Expansion Slots AGP x8 x 1 ? PCI x 3. Does that Mean i can use either pci or agp? or do i have to go by the motherboard part? AGP. If I do have to use AGP for my graphics card what are those other expansion slots for? Is it hard to install properly?

i have a few things upgraded: dual layer sony dvd burner and 2GB total RAM.

THANKS MAN!

Well it really depends.
You Need a AGP card.
Something like a radeon 9600XT is a great cheaper card that will get you through every game out 80% of those would run on high
15% would run on medium,5% would run on low the card is only about 120au new.
Or you might choose to go for something like a RAdeon X1950 Which is about 400au and will run every game on high out now.
