I also thought they had AGP. If so get this card

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (AGP) - Retail

I ran a system check I have two PCI slots, one 1xPCI slot, and a PEG slot (32xPCIe slot) I'm not really sure what the PEG slot is. Anyone?

Meh, gonna need to physically look inside it me thinks.

PCIe sounds even happier.

If u can`t figure them out by looking, try`n post a photo or summit.

I would say take a look, but don't expect too much - I know many people from forums who've bought a relatively new Dell and then found that Dell have removed the PCI-E slot from the motherboard!

As for Hypermemory, I would avoid it - its just going to steal your own system RAM and slow down the system in general...

Take a photo of your motherboard mate

Concentrating on the expansion slots (pci etc.)

just took some pictures, too big to upload, i've cropped them a little. sorry if its confusing.

Bacicaly I only have 3 free slots.

I have 2 long white slots (sorry this is so dumb of me), my win tv thing is plugged into that, and i have another spare one underneath. See cropped 2

The only other free slots are the two black ones seen in cropped 1.

Cropped 3 is just a picture of 2 somethings plugged into another 2 slots?!?!?

Sorry for being really thick.

Just been googling.

So the two white slots are PCI? So I have 1 free PCI (like the scan said)

The small black one is 1xPCI? which is free (like the scan said)

The only other free one is the longer black one. Which is????

The pictures i've just seen show 16xPCI as blue slots. I have none

Still dont know what a PEG is or whats plugged into it.

PCI Express for Graphics = PEG

Probably refers to the bus the onboard is using.

Well it doesn't have a PCI-e slot according to reviews so I guess it must be a PCI slot??
