Go online. Type the name of your motherboard (it's printed on the motherboard) and the REV # into the search engine. The various links you get will tell you if you have PCI E, which is listed as "PCI E". If you don't have a socket that is listed as PCI E, you don't have PCI Express. And no, PCI E cards REQUIRE PCI E slots.
On the other hand, if you have a "system diagnostics" routine, it will likely analyze your system and tell you in les than a minute if you have a PCI E socket.

if the system is older than a year, it is very doubtful that it is pci-e compliant....
your details are not really specific, because its the motherboard type that matters, but as i said, if its older than a year its very doubtful that it has PCI-E
failing that you can get exactly the same card in the AGP format.

It is if you get the AGP version as opposed to the PCI Express version. (your system uses AGP)
Here's the AGP version:
