Installing A PCI-Express Slot?

I just bought a emachine (T5026) which contains only 2 PCI slots although there appears to be room for a PCI-E slot. Anyone hear or know to install one or if it can be done?

 

The only way to add such a slot is to get a new motherboard.

 

Your computer has a PCI-Express X1 slot, it would be the small one by the PCI slots.

 

I want to install a new graphics card since the one supplied kinda sucks. Something better so i can play games like hal-life 2 and so on. I was looking to get a geforce 6600 but that requires PCI-E.
hhm i could have sworn i saw only 2 PCI slots. I guess i'll have to look again. Even with the PCI-E x 1 slot that wouldn't work with most of the new PCI-E cards since they are all x 16 would they?

 

no it wouldnt work, I dont even know if they make graphics cards for PCI Express x1. You could spend 100 bucks on a new mobo that has the slot you want, or just go for a PCI graphics card, even one of those would be an improvement over the onboard video.

 

man that sucks. oh well. Triple6 which sites are you looking at? I searched at bestbuy and even futureshop.ca and they just list 2 x PCI only. The emachines website doesn't even list at all what slots are available

 

hmmm I looked here:

But I guess since your lookin at it, you know better than anyone

 

well the computer was still a good deal but i guess that's why it was so cheap. You guys got any recommendations for the best PCI graphics card available?
