if not what is a good video card like xfx 9600gt same price
In order to use a PCI-Express video card, you need a PCI-E x16 slot.
The shorter white slots aren't PCI-Express, just plain PCI.
The tiny little PCI-E x1 slots aren't really for video cards (There are like a total of 2 cards in existence made for that interface)
The GeForce 9600GT kind of sits alone.. It's faster than the Radeon 4670 and GeForce 9600GSO but slower than the Radeon 4830 and GeForce 8800GT.
You should be able to, though if the motherboard doesn't support x16, it will throttle the bandwidth down to whatever speed it supports.
Also, make sure you're not confusing PCI-E 1x (aka a tiny slot) with x16.
dont think you can
