I need to if this video card will work with my computer

[CallToArms]

VisionTek Radeon 9200 256 MB graphics adapter PCI, i have an hp pavilion 7850, here is the motherboard specs link (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...dlc=en&product=60514&lang=en&docname=bph05159)
i looked further in the site and found out this about the video.
Video Graphics=PCI Local Bus
Controller=Intel 810E (on motherboard)
well will that video card work? and will pci express cards work as well?

From the looks of the link you gave, you can ONLY run a "PCI" card. That is NOT a "PCI-X" or "PCI-E". But just plain PCI. PCI-E is PCI Express, by the way.

That said, your 9200 PCI card should work fine. But if you want to play some better games like Half Life 2 or DOOM 3 or Battlefield 2, you'll need a better card, even if it is PCI.
At least jump up to the 9600 PCI if you can. Or a GeForce FX 5600 series.

Good luck!

i decided to settle down with an ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256MB DDR Graphics Accelerator, got it for 50$ flat, good deal or what?
