Video Card help

[ProPokerPlayer]

I have a dell ughhhh gc260? .....anyway its 1 of those slim models that only takes low profile cards.i got that part. when i go to the dell site and let it ck my computer and recommend upgrades it says use this video card that is PCI-E.......according to wat i have read you need a PCI-E slot to plug it into.looking at my motherboard via google image it shows NO PCI-E slots.....only the AGP? and the regular PCI......

So is Dell wrong or will the PCI-E card work in my computer?

old dell models like the optiplex series uses the agp slot, not the pci-express slot.
"low profile" according to dell is a graphic card that doesn't take a lot of juice. the reasoning behind that is because the dell power supply only gives out 250w max.

Low profile on a card just means that the card has a smaller back plate for smaller computers. If you open the computer up and just look at the slot most motherboards will have them labeled.
