Ok, first of all, how do you have a 1.1GHz CPU that runs at 1533MHz? :eek: What were you using to detect the system specs?

Anyway, the VT8361 northbridge is the VIA KLE133 chipset. I'm afraid that chipset has built-in AGP 4x graphics and no AGP slot! :( So, if you want to keep that mobo, you'll have to scrape by with a PCI video card.

For about $70 you can get a respectable GF4 MX 440-based card with 64MB of DDR RAM. Not bad for a PCI card. I wouldn't suggest going cheaper, but if you want to drop down to $50 you can get a Radeon 7000 or a GF2 MX (32MB cards).
