Answer 1

Well gregory actually that is exactly what you need to know to find out what kind of card you use. In fact I am glad because most people just put what kind of processor they have and expect people to be able to tell from that. So bravo to the asker for posting the right information. The Intel 915V chipset has PCI Express, so you will want a PCI Express card. As for which one, that will depend on how much money you wanna spend and if you have a big enough power supply to support it. For help on that, send me an email with the info.

Answer 2

Depends,

If you only have a PCI, the best PCI card on the market that I know of is the VisionTek ATI Radeon X1300 256mb DDR2. There are some good nVidia cards, but I'm not sure. They might be just budget cards with only 128mb of memory and 64bit pipelines. There might be some good PCI cards with 256mb from nVidia, or that uses a nVidia chip.
If you have a AGP bus, There are a lot more opportunities from both ATI and nVidia. From ATI, there are the X1k cards with AGP8x capabilities. If you're on a budget, a VisionTek ATI Radeon 9250 128MB is a good card. The nVidia geforce 6200 is a good AGP card. If you have a PCI-Express board, you have an even larger multitude of graphics cards. ATI has, once again, the X1k cards, and also the X500-X850 cards. If your budget (over $500), you can get an ATI Radeon X1900 512mb, one of the fastest cards on the market (the fastest being the ATI Radeon X1900XTX 512mbDDR4 Crossfire). The GeForce and nForce series. Also, from nVidia, the SLi configuration, but you need two of the same card or same type of card that are both PCI-E and SLi compatible. For either SLi or CrossFire, you'll need an 800watt max power supply for your computer, and a large budget. SLi and CrossFire is for dedicated gamers, or people that need extreme 3D for business or science.

Hope this helps

That's not what you want to look for in how to find out what video card you should use. First that's for the processor. Do you have the motherboard's part number? It should be on the box or the receipt and look something like 915GLM-V or 915GSE2G3. The new video cards come with four flavors. One is onboard video and if that's the case, if you want another card it will probably have to be a PCI card (not PCI express). If you look at Gforce video cards you could chain like video cards together if they have sli capabilities. The next flavor is APG. The third flavor is PCI express. The forth flavor is PCI express SLI which means if you hook up two like video cards that can be chained together to make it act as one bigger video card.
