I believe the first PCI Express cards arrived at the end of 2004 so a computer bought in 2005 might still have been AGP. I think you can tell which by going to Control Panel and selecting Display -> Settings tab -> Advanced button -> Adapter tab -> Properties button -> General tab. The Location field on my PCIe system says "PCI Slot 4". I don't have any AGP based computers around anymore but I think it would say AGP there.

Open the PC and check which you have. Both are shown here.

havent looked in it yet but did go to display under location this is what it has though PCI bus 0, device 2, function 0


this is the card Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

that was under display adapters in the device mgr then went to its properties

This is the desktop?

If so, it seems like you are using a motherboard display chipset.

That doesn't help identify which type of display card expansion slot you have. You need to open the case and look or consult Dell documentation.
