    Basically, I bought a PCI-Express graphics card, thinking it would work in a PCI slot. I have no PCI-E slots. ****.

    Am I completely ****ed, or is there something that can be done?

    Return, sell or swap the new graphics card. Or buy a new motherboard.

    Sure chop a few inches off it and make it fit.

    ha!

    no matter ho much you chop off it is not going to work on your current system. bring it back and trade for an AGP * version instead.

    *i'm assuming thet you have an AGP slot. Find out though!

    Thanks, if returning it doesn't work out for some reason, I'll consider this.
