    Once again...this should also be posted in the HARDWARE section. And I'm sure it will handle it!

    You just check if the card is AGP or PCI

    Yes, it does matter as AGP is faster at transfering data back and forward, so if you've got an AGP slot on your motherboard then i'd recommend going for an AGP card rather than PCI :-)

    What spec's your processor though as some card's do require higher resource usage than other's!?

    also, they have different connection slots, so if you have an motherboard designed for agp, pci will not do you any good.
