Here are some more details:
It's a Dell Dimension 8300, 2.66 gig pentium 4 processor, 1 gig ram.
I have no idea what mother board I have, nor do I know exactly how to check.
I DO have both regular pci slots and agp slot, but I'm not sure what kind of agp slot it is.
(I'm told that there are 2 - 4x & 8x.)
Right now, I have a GeForce 5500fx card with 256megs of ram.
Any ideas?

It comes down to just knowing what type of interface your motherboard has for the video card.
The latest is PCI-E and the one previous was AGP. Anything older than that and I would say get a new computer.

What is your motherboard and what is its expansion slots. Most new motherboards have PCI Express slots so you need to buy a video card that its interface is PCI Express 16x. If your motherboard has PCI slots, then buy a video card thats interface is PCI, etc.

What vintage, what mainboard is it? Got the original mainboard manual?
I could tell you in two minutes if I saw it...
The boot up Bios has a number on the lower screen (bottom left corner, usually), and it can tell you, in any search of http://google.com the maker ofyour board, then you go to the website for that maker...

Usally in your motherboard manual it says what type it is:
1. AGP
2. PCI-E

no stress... go to the properties of my computer and look up the video card and you can take anything under or the same... nothing higher...
