    You have a PCI-E slot which means you can use any current series
    card , ATi or Nvidia whichever YOU prefer.

    Just look for "PCI Express x16 " and youll be good to go.

    This Card jumped out at me from the link, It uses PCi-E x16
    And it an ATI based card,

    SAPPHIRE 100218L Radeon HD 2600XT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card
