Just wondering, because this would decide which video card I can get.
This is my computer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?dlc=en&tool=softwareCategory&lc=en&product=403786&cc=us&docname=c00066477

If not, what are some cheap, compatible cards I can use?

no its not the same, different sizes, different speeds, pci is bascially dead for video cards but still works good for soundcards. pci-e is even better then agp.

Nope.
A PCI Slot is 16 bit slot for standard cards in a modern computer.
PCI-Express PCI-e is usually dedicated to videocards. This has since replaced AGP video cards. Faster and more expensive.

Hi. This board has 3 PCI slots which are NOT compatible with PCI-e. This board does not support AGP cards. So it looks like PCI is your only option.

No, PCI and PCI Express are different standards. The cards that fit in them are not interchangeable.

No, pci-x is pci express. It is a smaller slot than PCI.
