The X700 is to big (long) to fit in the same slot. And there is one other slot open but I don't know what it's for. Can Anyone Help Please.

What they sold you was an 8X AGP card and you need a 4X agp card. Take it back and exchange it for a 4X AGP Card. The other slots are PCI slots used for sound cards, modems, Capture card and other PCI cards.

Last guy is completely wrong. I actually checked the specifications on your computer, and you have a PCI Express slot, which is the slot that the Radeon X700 goes into. It sounds to me like you should put the card in the other slot that is open, assuming it fits. I have a layout of your motherboard I am looking at, there should be four slots, three of the same length, and then one above them that is a little longer. Your new card should go in the one that is longer. From what I am reading you have integrated graphics right now, which means there is not current graphics card in there, so you shouldn't need to take anything out. If you need any further assistance please email me.
