I have a old Pentium 4 computer and thinking of upgrading it with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM and a new graphics card (New old graphics card) but it has a weird PCIE like slot. The power is at the end of it and won't fit any newer ish graphics cards. Any idea what that is and where I can buy a graphics card for it?
Just messing around and upgrading it so it can play minecraft better for friends etc.

I doubt the graphics card will cost much and my friend has some DDR2 RAM lying around so thought I might as well.

Also to help with the age it has them very wide thin wires connected to the hardrive and motherboard (and the CD players) etc.
 


What do u mean by that? Like if it can use a graphics card or something? or ?
 
AGP is an old and out-dated graphics expansion standard that was replaced by PCI-E. An AGP expansion slot will only accept AGP graphic cards (which are no longer made). NVidia stopped making AGP cards with the old 7xxx series cards (about 8 generations of cards ago). ATI/AMD stopped making AGP cards with the HD4XXX series.

Yea I might later get an AGP graphics card for it some time in the future but right now i'll wait as the only ones ican find at about $30 +$10 shipping or something.
