Owner's manual would be a good place to look. If you have a model number you can email it to me and I can look it up for you.

Ask where you got it. Also reference to the owners manual is a good idea.
If your computer is new than there is an almost 100% chance that it has a PCI-express slot. AGP is long gone.

Uh, where did you get the PC from? they'll tell you
If its a mom and pop or a boutique, you probably got the motherboard manuals (or electronic ones on the CD)
If a big name brand, slap yourself first, then hit their site to find out the specs.
