Need video card that is compatible with 32-bit DirectX player

I need a video card that is compatible with 32 bit DirectX player. There is a slot on the left side of the machine that is supposed to be for a video card. But I don't know what kind to get and a salesman at CompUSA says that you can't put a video card in there and that they are not available. Is this true? According to Sony it is supposed to be a PCI slot. Thanks. Shirley
