PCIe is a relatively new standard in video cards, and you will need a
motherboard that supports it and has the proper slot for it. A PCIe card
will not fit in a regular PCI slot. If you post back with the make/model of
your motherboard or system, we should be able to tell you what type of card
your system will support.
