John,
I'm not too sure about PCI Express -- I googled it and found a number of
hits, but I didn't stop to read them for long.

I think you're on target if you want just to update your video card in
your existing machine. Keep the SciTech SNAP Graphics list of supported
cards handy when you go shopping.

And you can probably get a new PC for $400 or so that would be an
improvement on your current one.

Colin:

I looked around a bit, too. Evidently PCI Express is a new standard on the motherboard complete with new slots. One can presumably get a system board with PCI Express or with AGP, but not both.
