Slim Tower Video Card

I have a Dell Slim Tower. I thought I had a pci slot because my slot looks like the PCI picture here.

So, I bought this video card for an additional output w/ a low profile bracket

The bracket will fit, but the part where I plug the card into the mother board doesn't fit. The little section closer to the bracket is a lil big for the mother board.

Do I not have a PCI slot in my computer? Is it something else? It looks really simlar to the PCI slot in the link above.

You sure it's not a PCIE slot?

The newer (the last year or so) Dell slim towers (Inspiron or Vostro) use a Foxconn board with a PCI-E slot. They also have PCI slots, so you should be able to use the card if you have one of the newer models. The PCI-E is a black slot, and the regular PCI are white.
