What do you mean by "no slots"?

You do know that if you buy a new graphics card, you'll have to remove the previous one?

That said, is your current card in an AGP or PCI-E slot?

What make/model is your computer? If it's a 2006 model, it should have at the very least an AGP slot even though you may not currently have an AGP card. Anyway, I wouldn't want a PCI card. If your computer truly doesn't have at least an AGP slot, then it looks like it's time to upgrade.

Aargh, I think this is the mother board you have: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c00361570

If that's true you're right, neither a PCI-E slot nor an AGP slot on there.

Had a chat with an arch-nerd friend of mine.

He suggested going for a PCI-E compatible motherboard and transferring the CPU and RAM (you've got DDR2 from what I can see). Seeing how PCI video cards are damn expensive that might be a solution worth considering.
