PCI Question.

Hey Guys,
A buddy got his mother's crashed computer( A Gateway 310s) and wants to overhaul it.
We've worked it all out, except for the GPU. He wants one that supports HDMI but I can not find anything on whether this machine has PCI 2.0 to be able to use the card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I think you are asking about PCIe v2.0 for the graphics card. According to the specs on this page, the computer comes with the obsolete AGP slot for graphics.

Just look at the slot Spock,call yourself a PC engineer:-D Or run sandra lite and run the computer overview.If it has an AGP slot just buy a used AGP card,if it has a PCI-EX1 slot use a PCI-EX1 video card they're only about $20.

You don't need a HDMI output either as long as it has a DVI output you can use a DVI-HDMI connector.
