    It will look like this:

    PCI-e only came into computers recently. If you have an old comp you are unlikely to have one.

    For a computer emulating 2d games, basically any card from the last 4 years should be perfect.

    agp is brown color slot about 6inchs ,,u can get fast pci card ,u will need fast card if u wanna set up media center,i,d say u,d need at least 500meg system ram,and 128 video card ram.I dont know if 1 gig cpu is fast enough ,for media center ,maybe the other board members could comment on this.there are fast pci cards avaidable out there,u,d have to spend at least 100euro or get 1 from boards wanted section general.you will need at least 128megram geoforce 4 ,,google minimum spec media center pc for more detailed info.
