I have a question. the page says it's a AGP card. But I looked at the (eBay) picture, the "slot part" doesn't seem to be the same as the slot of my computer (the card has "3 slots" my computer has "2 slots"). But they are both AGP. So does the video card match my computer slot? thanks.

Yes it will fit. Some manufacturers make them 3 slotted instead of 2. Not sure why but that's just how it is.

Strange image. However all AGP cards and slots are compatable. If your slot is of a slower speed than your card it will just throttle down to the slot speed.
I think that your slot is a slower slot and the card has an extra piece, but it will still work.

Yes it will work! Your AGP slot is 8X/4X AGP (1.5V key or notch). The card has 2 notches so that it would also fit in older 2X/1X AGP slot (3.3V key or notch).
The AGP slot configurations are illustrated here, just scroll down:

From the picture, it looks like a PCIexpress card and your slot is definitely AGP. So, they won't fit.

It will work. Here is what PCIe cards look like:
