well im thinking of updating my graphics card but, when I opened up the computer to see what type I need I didn't see an agp slot and I saw "PCI" slots but no "PCI express" slots. I also didn't see anygraphics card that was already in place. all that was in these pci slots was the modem thingy... so my questions is
1.) Is there a difference between PCI and PCIe slots? What Type of card do I need if I didnt see PCIe slots or AGP slots?
2.) Where is my old graphics card ?!?! lol. I know I have one and it's Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller (Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Controller) if that helps....
Graphics Card help. I don't think I have a PCIe OR AGP slot.?
Yes, Pci is different then pci-e. They have different speeds, different slots, the pci is for normal cards, the pci-e is for advanced graphics cards.
There are cards that are PCI, but they aren't the best because of the lack of cards. PCI-e is the biggest one right now.
You have onboard graphics which is directly hooked into the motherboard. Almost all have onboard graphics.
If you want a PCI card, this one is one of the best that I can find.

What is your motherboard and processor?
Also, if you want a real upgrade of a graphics card, youll need a new motherboard, and probably processor if your is old, and if its too old, then new ram, and obvuiosly a new graphics card. Then, you may need a new power supply. Basically, depending on what you have now, if you want a real upgrade, youll just need to build a new tower.

It is inetgrated graphic card i.e. it is integrated on motherboard like other device like keyboard controller, serial and parallel mode controller.
The other type is called PC card that you insert in pci, agp or pcie slot.

look 4 where ur montior cable connects 2 ur cpu thats where ur card is , if its part of ur motherboard then U don't have a card. pci slots R white in color, agp slot r brown ruat in color.
If its part of the board then U would have 2 disable it when U put a card in 1 of the slots U have.
