You CAN use:
- PCI cards (5 volt and universal, not 3.3 volt)

You MIGHT use:
- PCI-X cards depending on voltage keying and physical space (note: I've never seen a PCI-X graphics card)

You CANNOT use:
- PCI-E (PCI Express) cards
- AGP cards
- VESA Local Bus cards
- EISA cards
- ISA cards

I understand that you don't understand that paying by installments is still having to pay for it. It's called being in debt, something there's already too much of. Unless something is absolutely necessary, going in debt over it is not the answer. Being able to play the latest and greatest games is most definitely not worth going in debt over.

This is how people get themselves into financial trouble, and it doesn't need encouragement.
