I just ordered a new 8600 GTS NVidia graphics card. It says it uses PCI
Express. Will this just plug into a PCI slot? I've never heard of PCI
Express.

Cancel the order. You will need to order a card for a PCI connection.
Newer motherboards have PCI Express (PCI-X) connectors.

That would all depend on your motherboard...chances are if it is 5yrs old or
newer it is either pci express or agp.....Please provide the group with
brand and model of your motherboard and that will get you more accurate
info.....
