| It supports PCI-Express Video Cards. The motherboard should be red, square shaped, and AMD. |

yeah, its red, atleast i think so, the picture when i bought the pc was one side open with a red motherboard.
i never really opened it, because theres seperate parts of the chassi, top part, two sides part.
one sida i cant see in if i take it off, and the other side there is a fan screwed onto it so i cant take that off.
going to open top tomorrow and look into it.
btw heres a picture of something not sure what it is but it says supports > AGP.
does it anyway support pci-express? |

| Oh sorry, then it supports AGP if thats what you see on your computer. I searched the model number for your motherboard on google and it came up as PCI-E. |

If you have an AGP port your computer is probably pretty old.
I'd just look into getting a new one instead of upgrading. _________________

| its not that old, couple of months, instead of buying a whole new computer, why not just buy a motherboard with pci ports instead then? |

I'm pretty sure it has a PCI slot.The only reason it says AGP is because that is his current GFX card. _________________

Well it's plugged into a AGP port, and it's either AGP or PCI-E
(you probably have PCI ports, just not PCI-E) _________________
