You have a PCI-Express slot:

One PCI Express x16 graphics

I can't comment on the difference in performance between the PCI-E 1.0 and PCI-E 2.0 interfaces.

But.....you really have to look at the physical layout to see if it will fit, without interfereing with other cards or components on the motherboard. These cards occupy two slots worth of real estate, even though they only plug into the one PCI-E connector.

There are several reviews on this site that will help you decide if this is the right card for you. Depending on your application, you might be better off with a 9800 series nVidia.
