Does that mean that there are 2 PCI-e slots i.e. I can add 2 PCI-e cards if I want to? ... If YES explain if NOT explain.

PCI '
Conventional' is the same slot as was there on your 845, its not the
Express variant which is only 1 on your motherboard. So think of it to be a slot for Soundcards or TV Tuner and NOT Graphic cards which nowadays need only AGP 8x or PCI-E x16. I dont know if any cards (non-graphic cards) are available yet made for the
x1 slot.
For adding 2 graphic cards, your motherboard must support a feature called "SLi" [Scalable Link interface] and you will have 2 PCI x16 slots in those special motherboard series.
If you're upgrading, better try for a minimal Core2Duo system, cause that's a lot better than any other processor and is the latest by Intel. It beats AMD by a comfortable margin too!
