What is the difference between them and where should I go to find out what type of card I need I have looked in yahoo search and on Amazon for it but I don't know what one I need for it pci or pci-e.|||You have a plain Jane PCI slot.

Now as far as purchasing a new card, it will serve you well to do some research as to what you will be using it for. If for playing games, PCI cards will not work with newer games.

So check it out before you buy something that is useless to you.



Here's a great place to start..
