Good news everyone! A few minutes ago, I opened up my computer...and... *drum rolls*...
I HAVE AN AGP x8 SLOT!!!!!!!!

I am so happy, and am definitely glad the whole opening process was easier than walking itself. Thanks everyone for telling my to open up my computer, I had fun looking inside it. I'm also glad I found an AGP slot. My motherboard was better than I thought. Time to go look for AGP cards in CompUSA today!!! =D

EDIT: You guys can recommend cards for me. =D

Name your price range, then I'll help look for some. Is it ok if it is Newegg?

Hey thanks for helping out. =D

I was thinking anywhere along the lines of...nothing higher than 99.99. I'm still willing to pay a hundred bucks (nothing more!, well, maybe 10 more dollars won't hurt) if it means getting a good card for my AGP slot. And sure Newegg is fine, but my first priority is buying the card in-store, because I'm not sure if my aunt will allow order. So I'm going shopping today at Best Buy and CompUSA, and if everything in there costs too much or just sucks too much, I'll have to resort to ordering. But who cares, I'm in a darn happy mood today. AGP FTW!!! =D

No problem. From the looks of your current selection, do you care that the card you are looking to buy only supports DX 8.1? If that doesn't matter, I believe this card is close to same and and even lower price. Also, here is another card that supports DX 9. It is getting good reviews and specs look good.

I'll look some more and get back soon.

You could try a Radeon 9550, as I believe it is DX 9 (correct me if I am wrong).

See? Told you I could recommend good cards...

I was curious, so I looked inside my computer and foud 4 PCI slots. I also found 1 red slot a bit further back then the other ones, witch is holding my graphics card. Is this an AGP slot or a PCI-E slot?

Go with the Powercolor X1600PRO, it looks the best, it also has the most pixelpipelines. In my opinion number of pixel pipelines is more important then clock speed.

If you look for video cards soley on pixel pipelines then you might as well quit looking as that isnt the best way to determine.

I didnt mention the 7800gs, i was just pointing out how expensive it is. And I do know that the x1950 is better. ;)
