OK, so i got a nVidia 5700 agp card but i have a dell optiplex 260 and i should have known that a full size video card would not work in this proprietary system (this system takes half-height cards) :(

Just out of my curiosity: Please name a few non proprietary systems so
that I can buy one ;-)))



 My question is, will this PCI Express

No, because there is no slot PCI Express Slot on your mainboard. You
either stay with your integrated Intel graphics or buy an additional
AGP-Card, that physically fits into your case.

You also theoretically may go for a PCI card (NOT PCI-E!!), but the
latter will very likely lower your graphics performance even further.

So AGP is what you need if more graaphics power is what you want.
