so i recently picked up an emachine for what i thought was a good price. i checked the motherboard specs to make sure it had a PCI-E x16 slot and it did! but it turns out the actual motherboard had the slot (and a few RAM slots) taken out for some reason.
so no AGP and no PCI-E x16. totally bummed.
so can i play decently new games at all? if so, what video cards should i consider? not looking for crazy specs obviously, just the ability to play some newer stuff.
also, there's not any way to add an AGP or PCI-E x16 slot is there? the space for the PCI-E x16 is still there, but w/all the pinholes filled. also, i've got a short PCI-E x1 slot if i can do anything w/that. thanks for any help anyone can offer. and if i'm just SOL i guess i'd appreciate hearing that too.
