OK OK OK. I have no idea what it is. Besides for the fact it stands for Hardware Transform & Lighting. What does it do? Durring my searches I only found I Video Card that said it supported Hardware T&L. Do they all now? One last question. How do I find out what kinds of ports I have for video cards.

is that a compaq computer as that board was made for compaq & supposedly has no agp slot so must have onboard video
Yes it was made by compac and it says my graphics engine is a Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controler. Does this mean i can't get a new video card.
to confirm that you don't have an agp slot, open the case & look at the motherboard as you are looking for a brown slot alongside the white pci slots & about the same length as a pci slot.
Okay what would you reccomend for a motherboard. A video card was for my brithday. Now that i can't put one in without a brown slot that sorta limits that what would you reccomend. I've got a Celeron 2.4 in a Compac Presario Tower. Recoomend inexpensive items pleease and could you point me in the direction of a good video card.
what country are you in as i'm in canada. do you want to replace the motherboard & case & use old parts in new case or what??
I'm in USA I want to use my old case but i want to get a VideoCard since i do not have the brown slot that means i need a new motherboard. And that is my delema. My case is only 2 years old.
what is tha wattage marked on the psu & how many pins on the atx power connector & does it have the extra motherboard power connectors like the 4pin square connector & the 6pin inline connector. if get a new motherboard you might have to modify the case wiring to fit the new motherboard like the leds & power button. does the case have a reset button as normally name brand computers don't??
the power connector to the mother board is atx, does it have 20 or 24 pins on it?? the square 4pin connector do you have that plugged into the motherboard or not??
your psu is underpowered as should be 300+ watts. check the dimensions of your psu as might be different from standard psus. standard dimensions is 5 13/16"w x 3 5/16"h x 5.5"d. run this program & add 30% to total http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/Power_Supply_Calculator.php?cmd=INTEL
presuming your cpu is a 478 socket than try either 1 of asus motherboard like in this link http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/mbindex.htm or use a biostar p4vma-m that i'm using that has onboard video but also has a 4/8x agp slot, 2 ddr slots & 2 sata connectors
