Yep - I own the same machine. They're PCI-e slots, not straight PCI.

Sorry, I should have said mine was the 4GB max memory model - PCI cards not PCI-e or PCI-x

Yeah, you *are* right, definitely PCI slots (I know, have the same machine and same problem...) but PCI 2.1 standard.
Which means no 5 volts but 3.3 volts and an extra notch in the connector. Read more about it here:

Hope this helps!
