Charles Schimmel there are a few different motherboard options for this model. It most likely take a PCI card but we would need a picture of the motherboard to verify the slots. Keep in mind that you have most likely an integrated video card. When you switch video cards you also need to watch the power consumption. Check your PSU and make sure that it has at least 300W, A card like this should be compatible.
