No, you can't add an AGP or PCI-E slot.
The best PCI card you can get is a radeon X1300 such as this one

...unless you want to upgrade the motherboard, which looks like a micro-atx one.

You don't even have an AGP slot for a decent video card. looks like an HP brand computer or something similar and its using a socket 478 processor highly possible Celeron. with an Intel 845 or 850 chipset
YOu will need to run and go buy a decent motherboard that can fit that mirco ATX case. and a Power supply that fits the case.
I will recommend you get a cheap Biostar motherboard that supports the parts you have now. like anything that runs a socket 478 cpu and supports PC2100 and pc2700 and pc3200 memory sticks. and it has to be a mirco ATX motherboard which it has to have an AGP slot or PCI express and a better power supply since the HP power supply will burn out with a decent Motherboard. and the celeron it pretty wimpy compared to a slower clocked pentium 4........ You should really build your own system if you can do it. OR have someone you know who knows about computers to build it. It will cost you about $450 for a better than what you got pentium 4 3.06GHz with hyperthreading socket 775. or $800 for a gaming pc with a Duo core cpu.

It looks like your motherboard has built-in graphics. The "graphics card" isn't really a card, its embedded into the board and there is nothing you can do. So there is no way to add a video card. Basically, you need a motherboard that has an AGP slot. It looks like the PCI slots where your RAM is but offset. Once you have an AGP slot you can switch in/out video cards very easily.

I only see 1 PCI slot available, you have VERY limited options with this mobo. I think the best card is in the geforce 5 series (5600FX)
You can upgrade mobo but might have to upgrade CPU & RAM.
ATI cards are crap

wel! it surely DOES mention pci-e, but there is no sign of the slot, so i would suggest you upgrade the mobo OR get a pci card, u can get a 7300GS based pci card, if u look hard enuf, dat's ur best bet!

Nice try, Dude - that ain't an Intel 915g.
