.|||1st off. Dont put a big card in your old computer, it wont make much difference.. (like putting a ferrari engine in a Lada, the lada wont get any better)
2nd go in Start--> program files --> Accessories --> System Tools --> System Information
--> in there, under components, look at Display, and if you look around it should come up
Considering the radeon 7000, you shall either see PCI or AGP. It is most probably AGP (and be careful, "PCI" and "PCI Express" are NOT the same thing. Any card at the store that is PCI express is DEFINETLY not for your computer because it is the new cutting edge technology)|||http://www.newegg.com|||Look inside the computer where the video card slot is. If that slot is just a standard PCI slot like the other one or two slotsbelow it then you have PCI but if that slot has an additional slot piese right next to it then it's AGP.
