    Does your motherboard support PCI-e or AGP ?

    If not sure use CPU-Z to find out, go to the mainboard tab and look at the bottom.

    And how much are you willing to spend ?

    Take a look at www.dabs.ie & www.komplett.ie

    Erm..well that's not a great sign, on the same tab you will see a chipset label does it say what kind it is ?

    The only sure way to know is to open up the computer and take a look inside, in case you don't know this is an AGP slot & this is a PCI-e x16 slot (second from the top).
