I don't know if you already bought a screen card but what MotherBoard do you have? Make and Model if possible...

Have you tried to email their(Dell's) customer support? i'm not sure about the PCIe x1 As far as i know it should be PCIe x16 to be able to support the PCIexpress screen cards... Try mailing Dell's technical support found here: http://support.ap.dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/ap/shared/support/my_systems_info/en/hardware_warranty?c=au&l=en&s=dhs[^] sorry for not being more helpfull.....

There is such a thing as apci graphics card, that is not pci-express. These cards generally ar not as popular and most shops will not stock them, but you can get them. You can probably get up to a 128MB card, maybe 256MB, but the downfall is lower graphics bandwidth. If you are not using it for very high performance, it should be fine, Gaming, Video editing, a PCI Graphics card should do the job. Ask your local pc store if they can get them or browse online. Tip: If you go into a shop and you don't see certificates, chances are, the person may not know what your talking about, always go to a trained professional.
