How do i know if i have a PCI-E slot as opposed to the more common PCI?
I opened my computer and saw a short green slot which my AGP video card is plugged in
and also 3 longer white slots..which are PCI? or are they PCI-express?
I have a Dell Dimension 4600 thats about 3-4 years old.

They're PCI
PCI-E is too new to be in that computer.
