What's so special about these things? Do I need a special motherboard to use one or can I just plop one into one of my PCI slots?

NO YOU DON'T DO THAT!!!! You have to have a MB that has PCI Express on it. PCIe goes up twice as fast as an AGP 8x does. Its the new wave of Video inputs. So soon there will be no AGP it will be PCIe. |
