    graphics cards

    Andy K is right the ideal option is to find an AGP slot on the Mobo (mainboard), PCI cards tend to be more expensive and offer less performance. Just to clarify, AGP slots are actually shorter than PCI, but are set back furture into the board (The APG card is longer), they also tend to be...
