My missus has got a PC with this motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-7VKMLS

It has an on board graphics chip.

I want to put in a 3D card. But it has no AGP slot. Will it be able to handle these PCI x2 cards or whatever they're called? (I really haven't kept up to date with all this stuff since I left uni).

If it does (or does not) support this PCI express guff, could someone suggest a card that I could get? I'm on a bit of a budget, and I really only want it see eJay (ironically enough) doesn't run at about 1 fps....

Thanks very much!

There's no PCI-e there, no siree.

What sort of budget are you looking at for an old style PCI card?

Might be better to split the budget between a motherboard and video card if you're not too tight :).

Can't go too far wrong with these sub-£40 cards:

If you decide not to go with a motherboard.

I've found this:

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
