PCI-X, PCI- EXPRESS 16X, PCI, AGP, PCI- EXPRESS 1X. IWANT TO UPGRADE MY CRAPPY VIDEO CARD, BUT DON'T KNOW THE SLOT I HAVE|||It's a chipset, not a card. It could be used on a card that used any of those slot types - or could be installed directly on the motherboard.|||The GMA is a chip, integrated thing; this is not of any use to determine the slot type, basically the most fool-proof way to check it out would be to open up the desktop and look inside. The slot types you see are distinctive and easily researched.
If this is a notebook, you are screwed; no way to upgrade it besides throwing enough money at it to buy an external Express-54 Card to achieve about GeForce 7600/Radeon 2600 quality. And such money could buy you either GeForce GTX 260 or Radeon 4870 if it were a desktop to begin with.
