There will be two long thin port on the back of the pc if they are integrated into the motherboard.

Failing that on some older boards you can buy a blanking plate with two ports on it which connect to a plug on the motherboard, these are about £5.

Your best bet is to check the motherboard handbook, if you haven't got it, take the case of and get the model number & manufacturer of the motherboard, will be printed on the board and do a google search for it.

You can download the manuals for just about any board.

Most boards made after the Pentium 2/celeron were release have this capabilty in one way or another. Not sure at which point in AMD's evolution they came about.
