Graphics cards come with 3 different interfaces, pci (old type) AGP (now supersceeded) and pci-e (new type)

Can you tell folks what Packard bell it is or what graphics card it can take so as to establish what card you need.

If you dont no and on broadband try this free try version it should tell you what video card it can take
