Simply look it up in your motherboard manual which cards your motherboard supports....

i don't have the manual for the motherboard...
I actually guessed this already :P Look it up on the internet then... You should always have a manual at hand for stuff like this...

Manuals like this are very important pieces of paper!!! NEVER throw them out. A manual is always included when you buy a motherboard. And when bought your computer at a retail store as a whole package a manual must be included also; iether as a physical book, or iether on your harddisk.

If you still don't have the manual (or the store kepper refuses to give you one; in that case kick his but and go to another shop), you can always download the manual from the motherboard manufacture's site...

white slots can still mean anything. But these days, it usually are PCI slots...

This should be a brown slot.

if your BIOS says it is, then it is on a PCI slot. Your BIOS never lies (otherwise your mobo/graphics card wouldn't function anyways)
