That is a PCI graphics card. If you didnt have an AGP slot you could use that.

Eh, I wouldn't buy that. You can buy a 6600GT for that price! You should be able to find a 5500 somewhere else a LOT cheaper.

I don't have AGP or PCI-E either, and I did a lot of research before deciding on the best PCI card. Get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814139166 (5700le 128mb) You wont regret it, great overclocker!

thats about the best PCI videocard you can get, and the best ocer like he said, those 5700LE's can really crank up since its a downgrade from a regular 5700, its kinda like the whole 6600 ocing like nuts and the 6600GT not ocing as good cause its already higher thing..
