How do i know which graphics card will fit into my slot?

I own a celeron 2.5 ghz i dont knoiw much more than that and i cant play games any better than java. It just reverts to the desktop. I pulled the nvidia from my outdated presario and it didnt fit.
What sort of card do i buy that will fit? is there a term for the specific card that fits to a celeron or what?

Answer:
You'll have to look at your system to find whether it accept an AGP or PCI Express (PCIe) graphics card. All really old graphics cards are AGP (or even elder ones are PCI and others, but those are basicly as old as when the Internet be a new thing). So if your outmoded presario video card doesn't fit, it is likely that your computer requires a PCI Express Graphics Card or AGP if the presairo be a PCI graphics card.
It sounds like you can individual run PCI Cards (Standard).
If the nvidia didnt fit it means it be an AGP.
You can only buy PCI Cards from Ebay or second foot stores. The best and last one that be made on Standard PCI (NOT PCIe) was the Gforce 5500 256mb.
It will cost you around $50 us brand topical if you can find one.
Make sure its PCI and not a PCI express card.
