Grapics Card compatible with Motherboard?

Hello, I recently used this forums for some network problems I was having and I was satisfied that I would like to ask for some support. So, basically I wanted to upgrade my graphics card and the one I was interested in said it was a "PCI Express 2.0 x16" and my motherboard said it has "PCI slots (PCI 2.2 compliant) ". I can't figure out if it is compatible with my motherboard and will be able to use it before I buy it.

Greetings. Do you know the exact make and model of the motherboard? PCI_E is quite different from PCI.

Ya, my motherboard is old so I don't know if it will work.. I might need a new one but… it's a Gigabyte, 7VT600P-RZ…… Link

That board has an AGP 8X/4X slot:

1 x AGP slot (8X/4X-AGP 3.0 compliant)

This was the previous standard prior to PCI_E 16X.

You can upgrade to an AGP 8X card which would still be a decent upgrade for such a computer.

You can probably add RAM as well.

Here is a RAM scanner that will let you know what RAM upgrade choices you have:
