Hi!
It's most likely to be a PCI Express x16 slot, which is good news. You can
put in almost any current graphics card that you want to use. There are lots
of choices from ATI and nVidia on the market.
However, you must be aware of something before you buy...and this bears
repeating: Some cards (especially upper middle and high end cards) will
require a LOT of power. You could end up buying a card that won't work in
your computer because of its power demands. Consumer grade
computers--especially budget priced ones--oftentimes do not have large power
supplies, or even power supplies of particularly good quality.
Open your computer (it won't bite) and look inside to see what you have. If
you're going to spend the money on this, you might as well do it right.
There are two things you want to look at--the type of slot that is in there
now, and what--if anything--is in it. You can find pictures of graphics card
slots by doing an image search on any popular search engine. Also check the
rating on your power supply. It should be at *least* 350 watts if you expect
to get much in the way of a better graphics card.
