And I'm wondering, because I know I'm going to get a graphics card no matter what, that since it has both a PCI Express and PCI slot, if I install both will the computer run both? If not I'll just put in an AMD PCI Express card by itself.|||Unless you plan to have 4 monitors attached to your computer at once, no, there isn't any point in having a PCIE and PCI graphics card at the same time.



Only one card does the actual work of processing graphics, the other idles. Using that setup (1 PCIE and 1 PCI) the best your PCI card can do is to just provide 2 additional ports for you to plug monitors into, but it is useless in gaming.



If you want dual graphics cards, you need a motherboard that supports Crossfire or SLi, with a minimum of 2 PCIE 16x slots. The 2 cards will also need to be identical and linked together using a bridge.



PCI graphics cards are ancient anyway, you won't be able to play any recent games on a PCI card.
