video card compatiblitiy with motherboard

[findingmyzen]

For awhile now I have tried several different video cards, one was the Nvidia 6600, a PCI card (forgot the name) and the ATI Radeon 512mb video card. None of those were compatible with my motherboard.

I have been using the same graphics card since 2004 - Nvidia Geforce 4200 and I'd really love to update ...

so my question is, how do I find out what is compatible with my motherboard?

such as features and 128mb, 256 or 512? My computer has 1 AGP slot and 4 PCI slots.

Via P4PB 400 motherboard


Or what would be a motherboard and video card combo that will still accept DDR SDRAM 2700/333mhz ? (As an update to what I already have)

you will need a card ,which is compatible with AGP slot .


it will hard to find such cards ,since they are obsolete .Newer onces support PCI-E

like nVidia GeForce 7800GS AGP,nVidia GeForce 7600GS AGP.

if possible upgrade your pc as a whole ,like Motherboard ,Graphic card ,processor ,ram etc
