Default Buying new video card for Presario 5BW120

I want to upgrade the video card in my Presario 5BW120, however, I have
baffled by the cards available.

From the specs on my machine, it states that it doesn't have any AGP slots,
however, all the cards I am looking at have the following:

Compatible Slots 1 x AGP

Am I able to get video cards that connect to my PCI slots or are the
majority of video cards able to be insert into PCI slots?

Sorry if I sound dumb but I have never ventured into this field before.

Cheers

Karl

Sure you can. ATI makes Radeon cards in PCI form. I think the 9000 is the
top of the PCI line.
