    I bought my Dell Desktop around this time in 2006. The Chipset is Intel Grandstale.

    The reason i ask is because i want to buy a 8800GT, and thats not happenin unless i have PCI-Express.

    I would think that i would have PCI-E because it was introduced in 04, but i'm not sure.

    help would be appreciated.
