k DDR is a type of ram
Pci is the slot that you use for some videocard and other cards.

I think you are confusing things...

DDR memory is the memory on the Video Card.

PCI is not memory, it is a slot in your computer.



Post your system specs, and I'm sure someone can tell you if the video card you are looking at is compatible with your system.

Well, that card will work fine, assuming you have a free PCI slot.

ie: PCI slots are the white slots on your motherboard where your sound card, Network card, current video card...etc are plugged in

If you have an AGP slot, (the brownish slot above the PCI slots) get the AGP version of that video card, as AGP will be faster than PCI.
