    Dude you cant pick a gfx card until you find out what motherboard you have and if it is pci-express, agp or pci.

    isnt there a other way to find out wat my motherboard is?
    (except opening my pc)




    edit:- am not sure if this is the motherboard's name... but anyways:-
    on Intel® 82801DB LPC Interface Controller - 24C0

    i would really like to get the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX , since its the GREATEST OF ALL RIGHT NOW :D in my country it costs exacly 547.775 US Dollar , and thats certanley alot :D

    also ive found a cheap NVIDIA XFX GeForce 6800LE 128MB 256bit DDR TV DVI video card . and right now theres a big chance of me buying it , but before i make that decision i need to know if it will work on my pc...
    whats that agp , pci , stuff? also ive read here:-
    http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_doom3_benchmarks.html
    that the nvidia 6000 series are the ideal cards for doom 3 , but the card am buying is 6800LE , and as u can see in this pictures:-
    [​IMG]

    the 6800LE is not listed...does that mean my LE card wont be good for doom3?

    thanks[​IMG]

    the 6800le is about as fast as a 6600gt card. An 6800le however, is unlockable. You can unlock some of it's pipelines and vertex shaders so it runs as fast as a 6800gt. Just google "6800le softmod" or "6800le unlock" and you'll see what i mean.

    He has a fx5200 card and a 2.66ghz p4. Do you really thinc that mobo doesn't have an agp slot? <_<
    I do agree that he should open up his case. When he wants to replace the cards he also needs to open up the case, so why not now?
