Default compaq 5BW 5000 upgrade help

I have a Compaq 5BW, 5000 series computer, 733mhz PIII with 256 ram, system
board is o6coh. I'm using an Intel 82810e graphics controller with 8mb video
memory, want to get a 32mb or 64mb card. I need to know if my system uses an
AGP or PCI card? And if upgrading to a 32mb or 64mb will work ok with 733mhz
& 256 ram. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

No AGP slot. Only PCI. It will work. Get a Radeon.
