How can you tell if your motherboard uses PCi-E or PCI video cards?

I'm planning on getting a new video card but don't know if my motherboard is compatible with PCi-E video cards. Is there a way to check (without opening the computer up) if its compatible with PCi-E through computer properties and such?|||A video card uses either a PCI express slot or an AGP slot. I dont think there is any video card that works on a PCI card.

1. Go to Device Manager (Right Click (My) Computer, go to Properties, click Hardware Tab, click Device Manager button.) and expand System Devices and look for something that says PCI Express.

2. If you have a name brand machine (i.e. Dell, HP, Sony, etc.) you can check the specifications for your machine on their website and depending on how well the vendor documents their systems, you may find your answer.

3. You can install CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php) and it will tell you some information about your motherboard which you can use to search for specifications.|||If you know that little about your computer, you really should have someone else take a look at it. There are issues not just with what kind of connector your motherboard has but with how much space there is in your case and the capacity of your power supply.|||one way to find out is to go to the website of the computer brand, type in the model, and once you find your computer it will give you that information|||well you could search your computer brand and model number in google, or the fastest way is open it up and see if it is pci-e or agp all computers have standard pci so that will always be your last option
