I was thinking of buying a new desktop with Vista on it so i can finally start learning it (well, learning the new 'old people' friendly quirks) and I wanted to know if any of you can tell just by looking at this picture if the motherboard has PCIe or AGP or no graphics expansion slot at all.

here is the link:

Any help would be great. Sadly, the info on the computer through newegg mentions no port idea at all in terms of PCIe or AGP. If someone could help me out with this really fast it would be very awesome :)

Thank you.

Only has a 250W PSU, I doubt either would be powered, my guess is it is integrated only.

It does have a PCIe slot, but as PrntRhd said the PSU not going to support anything other than stock equipment.

Besides that system junk and barley meets the minimum specs to run vista. You don't want that system. ;) I know you can't expect much for $160, but you will not be happy with it.

And I don't think it would be a good candidate to drop a Linux distro on, either...that VIA Chrome chipset is only one tiny step above SiS in 'stinkiness'.

That machine is almost adequate for an 'appliance' type use with XP on it, with Vista, it is a waste of silicon.
