It's called a Peripheral Component Interface. It is a slot on yout computer motherboard that will let you add an interface card like a sound card, network card, video card etc.\nIf you open your computer case, you can spot the PCI slot as it is generally white in colour.\nSee the link below.

PCI Slots are White AGP Slots are brown AMR Slots are small and a lighter brown  And the Old ISA Slots are black.But I would guess if it has an ISA Slot in it that it may not be worth fixing

I don't really know what you are after here, but this is the only thing that I see coming close.\n\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815123021

pci express is a bus-type, in other words, it's the socket type that the video card plugs into. you should look through your manuals, or check online to see if you have a pci-e slot, if it is 2 years old, most likely not, you probably have an agp video slot (brown), the pci-e slots are different than normal pci slots.

PCI-express is a type of slot.  You either have one on your motherboard or you don't.  If you have a new motherboard you almost certainly do have one.\n\nTypically, the first slot on a motherboard is specifically for the graphics card and is either an AGP or a PCI-express.  The rest of the slots are normal PCI slots.  Although you can put a PCI graphics card in one of these (not a PCI - express but a normal PCI) the performance won't be nearly as good.\n\nThe easiest way to find out which slot you have is to open up the manual that came with your Dell and flip to the back.  In the specifications section it will specifically mention either an AGP or a PCI - express slot.  If you have an AGP (which older motherboards tend to), then return the graphics card where you got it and get the same one for AGP.

Yes, you can add one to a regular old PCI slot. They won't be good for gaming.\n\nI upgraded one of my computers with an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 PCI with 128 MB RAM, and it runs everything I need it to. And it is a Compaq, by the way.

look at the board ... if all the slots are the same size ur stuck with pci ... if its got a shorter offset brown one near the center  its probably agp ... if thers 1 or two slots longer than the rest its probably pci-e ... best thing to do is download the free version of everest and run it to get the board model then google the specs ..

Depends what you mean.. If you mean PCMCIA slots - there's only one.  There's two SODIMM memory slots and one MiniPCI slot that is usually populated by the wireless card.

Try running this tool on that pc: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html It should be able to tell you what the make and model of the card is, along with all the other hardware.

Take the side cover off and look.\nDo you have a Video expansion slot?\nIf so, it is AGP or PCI-e?\nA lot of the cheaper boards do not have a video slot.\nIf you have a regular PCI slot open, you would need to buy a card that fits the slot.

They are called PCMCIA cards and will fit into the side of pretty much any laptop. Slots straight in, installation is a breeze. My mum could do it.

If you go to Circuit City or CompUSA or some equivalent, you can buy a two or four port USB card to insert in a PCI slot, if you have a slot available. \n\nJust ask the salesperson for advice on whether the one you are looking at will work in your PC, and what their returns policy is if it will not fit or fails to work.\n\nThey will usually need to know what version of Windows you are using, and what type of card (PCI or IDE) that you need for the PC. \n\nIf you have a camera phone, you can open up the cover of your PC, take a snapshot of the card slots, then just show it to them and see what they think.

In order to use a PCMCIA card in a desktop you need to purchase the add on card.  This can be found at either http://www.geeks.com or http://www.pricewatch.com Before ordering one, you need to make sure that your computer has an available slot.  You will be looking for a PCI slot.  If you are unsure of what this slot looks like, I have a detailed motherboard that show it at my site below under Computer Talk.  Hope this helps

Video cards are definitely internal in either PCI-express, AGP, or PCI format.  Modems, the dial up type usually goes in a PCI slot.

Use the PCI slot man. If is has an onboard video, disable it in the bios and use the new card that you installed. Good Luck!
