hey dude there is no separate agp slot available :D ... u will have to buy a new motherboard which has an integrated agp 8x slot. go for the intel original 865gbf or asus p4c-800-e deluxe boards and upgrade ur ram (buy 512 mb pc 3200 ddr frm kingston/corsair/zion) and throw in a good nvidia card which u r planning (best is 6600gt frm xfx/gainward/leadtek). now this massive upgrade will make ur pc a good gaming machine.

all the best !
