Hi.
I need some help ASAP.
Can i install a PCI-E graphics card onto my board without any PCI-E slots?
I have 4 free PCI slots. ( Are they compatible?)

Nope, PCI, AGP and PCI-E all have different slots and you can actually break your equipment if you try to mix and match.
Oh yeah and its not covered under warranty if you break it this way because you misused it.

Sorry it doesnt. Expansion Slots AGP x8 x 1 • PCI x 3

NOT POSSIBLE.
The PCI slot is just good for other expansion cards like modems, ethernet card, sound card, etc. BUT TOO SLOW for graphics. If you want to enjoy games in your PC, you have no choice but to upgrade your motherboard to one w/ an 8X AGP slot or a X16 PCIe slot (this is best).

No you cannot. PCI-E is a different type of slot

No. They are physically different.
