PCI hub?

My PC is a great PC and all, but only has two PCI card slots. That means only my wireless network card, and my graphics card, will fit. Is there any way of adding more, or any kind of... PCI Hub, like you get with USB stuff?
 
Well, I presume that's what it is, I mean there's a card in there. I don't really know what's in my PC :)

Edit: Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure it's the PCI slots I am talking about.
 
Most PCs post Pentium 4 have 2 PCI slots, 2 AGP slots, and a PCI-E slot. My old Pentium 2 had 2 ISA slots, 4 PCI slots, and 1 AGP slot.

Google the card types and you should find images of what the slots look like (ISA is usually black and long, PCI is white and medium length, AGP is small and brown. I've never really seen a PCI-E slot)
 
It is definately PCI then. I think what I thought was my graphics card might be a sound card or something :/

I searched google for "add more pci slots" and it found one product, a 7-slot PCI hub, for... $1500. Lol...
