This is the default configuration according to that review. Assuming your slots are all empty. Look at the back of your PC, there will be 3 horizontal plates above and below your network card, see the bottom of the picture:
If there is anything in these 3 slots other than the Netwrok card in one of the 4 slots, let us know and someone can walk you through figuring out which is used up.
If it pretty much looks like shown above, then a new PCI-E card is your best bet.
From memory express:
Any of these cards will do, but make sure it either has the same type of output as your monitor, or you get the appropriate adapter. Chances are, unless you already have an adapter, you can only use the VGA cards or a DVI Card with a VGA adapter.

This one is $23 after rebate, and shouldn't need an adapter since it comes with one port of each type. You could also easily add a second monitor with this card.

Okay, I looked inside my computer and only one of the 4 slots is being used, and it is used by a Dlink card (I assume that is the network card). The other 3 are empty.
