1) Find out what video card you PC has and look it up on the internet.
2) Find out what motherboard your PC has and look on the internet for that motherboard and it should tell you in the spec's.
3)The quicker way is to turn off of your PC, disconnect the power plug, open the box up and pull the video card out (remember it is held in by a little pull pin, pull it out at the same time has pulling the card). Look at the connection strip (the bit that plugs into the motherboard) if it has two rows of copper strips on each side (1-up, 1-down, 1-up, 1-down etc) then it is an AGP socket. If it has one row of very fine copper strips on each side then it is PCI-E.

There are three ways of telling:
1) Find out what video card you PC has and look it up on the internet.
2) Find out what motherboard your PC has and look on the internet for that motherboard and it should tell you in the spec's.

Hope this helps.
it will be written on your current card. if not then look at your mainboard, an AGP slot is always brown in colour.
Rather than explaining what each look like, heres a comparison picture:
