geegum,
You would need to open your computer to see what available slots you have available on the motherboard. Below is a list of the expansion bus on your motherboard. You would probably need to purchase a PCI Express IEEE94 card to add.
Mini PCIe Connectors One Mini Slot Connector size 124-pin connector Connector data width (maximum) 32 bit PCI Express x1 Connector Three Connector size 36-pin connector Connector data width (maximum) 1 PCI Express lane PCI Express x16 Connector One Connector size 164-pin connector Connector data width (maximum) 16 PCI Express lanesThank You,
