You can't just "add" a video card slot. They come built onto your motherboard. What you will have to do, is buy a new motherboard, and likely a new computer case, and you will need to reinstall your windows os as well to fit the new chipsets of the new motherboard. The new motherboard will likely require a new case becasue the mounting holes probably wont line up, and the size of the motherboard probably wont be the same. You probably will have to upgrade your powersupply as well to handle the extra load of the graphics card too. So you are basically forced to upgrade build a whole new computer if you wish to upgrade.
