It had something to do with the CPU's "Socket A". I also noticed that my mobo only has PCI slots, not PCI-e slots. The Amazon page the the card Coolboy suggested says it is a PCI-Express video card. Does that it would not fit in a PCI slot? And is what that tech said true, that even if the card could fit, the HDMI wouldn't work because the CPU doesn't support it? Sorry my questions got really complex.
