help with pci cards

hi. i have a emachines and i want to buy a new graphics card off ebay.i know that i need a pci card but i have been looking at the cards and some of them dont look like they would fit into my pci slot.is there a certain pci card that i need cause i seen that there are different kinds like pci express and pci bus.what one do i need?

theres 3 theres agp pci and pci experess what mobo you got

thats what i need to know...i was told that i need a pci card from the place that i bough it from....so for example a ..pci express card wont work?

Download cpu-z from here. Open the .zip and run cpuz.exe. Now click on the mainboard tab. At the bottom, it will have a "grpahic interface section. There, it iwll tell you whether you have pci, pci-e or agp.

it doesnt say anything in the graphics interface section :'(

what the slot look like

Hmmmmm, very weird. Can you take a pic of the slot?

EDIT; Actually, knowing which exact e-machines you have would help aswell.

i think the modle is w2888 and heres a link of a pci slot that looks the same as mine http://www.ultimatepcrepair.com/files/plpci.jpg and heres a perfect example of wat i need to know...will this card fit in that pci slot that is shown in the other link http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-256-MB-PCI-BU...QQcmdZViewItem



notice the three tabs on the one from ebay.

That card you linked ot on ebay, is confusing me. Perhaps someone else oculd explain why there are 3 tabs on the card. Anyway, the pci image you gave, are there any different looking slots near the pci slots inline with the pci slots, usually towards to the middle of the edge of the board. If not, then you only have pci slots, and afaik, the fx5700le is the best pci card available.

Im not to sure what that 3rd tabs about but it looks like it would fit but thats comeing from me! lol
