pls

plz check out the user manual of the motherboard to see wether there are additional AGP slots or not that's where you will add your graphics card. Tv tuner cards will require a PCI slot free in your motherboard....

Sorry to say this pal, but your motherboard has no AGP slot. Only PCI slots. Now you could go for a PCI graphics card, but these are very rare to find these days and also, they don't perform well either. Just a waste of money.

If you can, get a new motherboard which has an AGP 8x slot. After that you can easily fit a powerful graphics card in it.
