Actually, the ones I have seen (with Pentium *3*-450) have AGP slots.
In a desktop case there is a small slot in the back left corner that
accepts a low-profile AGP 2X card. Some of these systems came with an
optional low profile Matrox G200 card in this slot. (These sometimes
appear on eBay and are an improvement over the on-board S3 Trio 3D
video chip.)
There are a large number of variants of this product line, and models
in a tower case may accept a full size AGP card. The original poster
should open the case and see what's available. If there is no full
size AGP slot, then a PCI card will work.
