14.5 inchs high 17inchs depth 7.5inchs wide does that make sense or is that wrong kinda standard size i think.

it will just mean if you change the board it will have to be the same kinda size

As Zinglebarb mentioned, download everest and post details on the motherboard, you might find it does actually have an AGP port.

It does all kinds of things, benchmarking, diagnostics etc, but the bit that applies to you is that it'll show the model number & make of your motherboard.

When you fire up everest, just click on the motherboard icon on the right, then click motherboard again and it should show you a "motherboard ID" and "Motherboard name", just paste them in here.

Looks like it is PCI only I'm afraid, sorry about that, it's also looks like it's mATX (smaller than a normal ATX motherboard)

If it copes with the demo then I guess it should cope with the full game.

You can get a full report on your system from the reports menu at the top in Everest.

[ System Slots / PCI-Express-1 x1 ] System Slot Properties: Slot Designation PCI-Express-1 x1 Type PCI-E x1 Usage Empty Length Long

That came up in the report does that mean i've got a PCI-e slot somewhere that can be used??????

You have a PCI-E-1 slot, but Graphics cards use PCI-E-16 slots, so no it won't support a PCI-E graphics card.

A picture showing the diff can be found on this Wiki page.

thanks for that aragorn would it say in the everest report if it was a x16 then.(you'll have to bear with me not brilliant with tech details)
