I also forgot. The graphics card should be good for a PC that has only a PSU of 230W.

If there is nothing, can PCI cards be used?

I think graphics cards these days are either AGP or PCI-e x16.
128 MB would likely be minimum...check the requirements for your OS.
I'm thinking you would probably want 256 MB.
Oh, yeah, check the requirements of whatevery vid card you get for the PSU. My older computer had a 350 W supply, and I thought that was low. I suggest upgrade to 350 - 500.
Good luck!

I'm sorry you won't be able to use a pci-express video card in this machine. It lack and agp slot also. The only slots available for video upgrade are standard PCI slots. You could look at upgrading to a Standard PCI video card like this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814145087
