Answer 1

You can only use PCI (not PCI-express) cards. Unfortunately they don't make any newer cards on PCI anymore. The "best" you can get from nVidia is a GeForce 6200, but you might actually have better performance with something like an FX 5900

this is the best i've found so far: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814139009R

Answer 2

That motherboard has ONLY "PCI" slots available to add upgraded video card.

That limits choices quite a bit,but there are some pretty good cards that will play most games.

Someone asked same question earlier,,,,it's a common question

Here's what I told them..........

Far as I know the Fastest "actual PCI" card is

Jaton VIDEO-338PCI-DVI

http://db.jaton.com/vgaproductdetail.asp...

That's a Nvidia 6200

You can find them on EBAY for about $70~80 NEW,,, shipped

Nvidia FX 5700 LE are probably 2nd fastest

FX5500 is probably 3rd

>>>>>>>>>
ATI Radeon 9200 or 9250 are the latest/greatest/fastest Radeon PCI cards.

Performance-wise,,they are waay behind the Nvidia FX's.

But,,they are fairly modern,and have up to date specs,,,so they do OK

.................................
You choices are VERY,VERY Limited for Hi-Performance PCI Slot video cards

......................
Shop on EBAY is usually "best" for good prices.
Many computer places dont even stock many PCI cards anymore.

You can try
Newegg.com
Pricewatch.com

be CERTAIN it's plain ,old "PCI" and
NOT the newer PCI-E

-----------------------------------------------
My Opinion is that most any video card that would make much difference is probably going to be $44~50 for NEW card.

The FX 6200 is "as good as you can get" for just a few more $$

You can get them cheaper sometimes for Used ones on EBAY.

The 6200 card is a fairly new design,,,so NONE of the used ones can be old,old worn out cards

If you DO try a used one, to save money,be Certain the Seller will assure You that you can return it if there's problems.
Most Ebay folks are pretty good & honest

Answer 3

depends on the slot agp or pci express nvidia 6800 xt 256 mb about a $100 to $125 or so its possible to overclock also
