Follow this link and click on 'Marketing Specifications' to see your specs. It looks like you have one AGP slot, used by your graphics card.

You have one AGP slot, which means if you are looking to upgrade the graphics card only, you will need an AGP graphics card. Your board does not support PCI-E, so a PCI-E graphics card will not work. The only option (without upgrading the motherboard) is the AGP card. The other PCI slots that you have are not PCI-E and wont work with the one you're looking at.
Nice selection btw...hoping to get myself one of those soon.[tongue]

@Taylor123

Well AGP is definitely faster/better than PCI, dont confuse that with PCI-Express. Theres a difference lol. Your board doesnt support PCI-E, only AGP and PCI. Go with the AGP if you're not replacing your board. Im sure you will be very happy with it.

But if you're talking PCI-Express versus AGP, basically there is currently little to no speed difference between the two buses. AGP will still be around for quite a while I think, but PCI-E is going to be the new standard, especially with the optional SLI support (hooking two PCI-E cards together to work in tandem). Since there arent that many boards that support SLI out there yet (Nvidia only for now), its still a little expensive. But the prices are already dropping and by the end of the year it should be an affordable upgrade.

Heres a link to a good PCI-Express versus AGP article:
http://www.tcmagazine.info/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=127

Motherboards that support SLI (look for the checkmarks):
http://www.nvidia.com/object/motherboards.html

And a SLI FAQ from Nvidia:
