My Motherboard is Asrock P4i45gv. The question is:
Is it possible for me to install PCI-e Video cards using the three PCI slots below my AGP Video card slot and won't have problems or is it for other hardwares only?
You see, most of the available video cards in my area offers PCI-e video cards. Since I am looking for a video card that supports shaders (for NWN2 and Titan Quest), the available video cards are for PCI-e only.
Please tell me if it is possible so that I can save money from buying a new Motherboard if it is possible. Thanks in advance

Please elaborate if there is/are difference between the slot I am looking for (for the PCI-e Video card) and the one that is available in this motherboard (PCI Slots).

You can go to www.tigerdirect.com and do a search for AGP video cards you can get a 512mb AGP for fairly reasonable price. The only reason PCIe cards are cheaper because the are use mostly now on newer systems. Like ram you can get 2gb (2*1gb) of DDR 667mhz speed for around $50 but 2gb of ddr PC3200 400mhz is around $100 or more. Thanks

PCI cards shapes and works differently than PCI-Express they only sounded similar so you need to buy PCIE motherboard if you can't find suitable AGP.

Download your motherboard manual here:http://www.asrock.com/support/download.asp?Model=P4i45GV The best I can tell, there is not a PCIe slot for the card. It is not a standard PCI slot.

Yes the PCI slots will support a video card. You may need to disable the AGP slot or change priority in CMOS/BIOS
