    What kind of graphics card can I buy? I have this computer http://www.epinions.com/pr-Sony_VAIO_PCV-RS530G_PC_Desktop/display_~full_specs It says: Expansion Slots AGP x8 x 1 • PCI x 3. Does that Mean i can use either pci or agp? or do i have to go by the motherboard part? AGP. If I do have to use AGP for my graphics card what are those other expansion slots for? Is it hard to install properly?

    i have a few things upgraded: dual layer sony dvd burner and 2GB total RAM.

    THANKS MAN!

    Well it really depends.
    You Need a AGP card.
    Something like a radeon 9600XT is a great cheaper card that will get you through every game out 80% of those would run on high
    15% would run on medium,5% would run on low the card is only about 120au new.
    Or you might choose to go for something like a RAdeon X1950 Which is about 400au and will run every game on high out now.
