AGP and PCI Compatible Motherboard?
*picture attached*

I know that the bottom two slots are PCI slots, but what about the top slot? It looks about the right size for an AGP card. Thoughts?

P.S. I essentially know nothing about computer hardware : /.

Looks like an AGP 8x port to me.

(If it was PCI-E, then it would havd the smaller set of chips to the front)

Ah, Indeed it is a AGP 8x Slot. Now my comp has a 6200 in it . Thank you for the aid. I have one last question though. What exactly does VGA compatible mean?

VGA stands for Video Graphics Array and it's basically just the standard for graphics display for pc's.
