so is there any specific videocard that will be compatible for this kind of motherboard? or any videocard will be fine?
,and only windows98 and below can run in this motherboard right?
I really don't know much about old computers, so I'm having problems with this one, thank you for your answers

This is at least 8 YEARS OLD!!! It can only run either Win 95 or 98 This is probably a PIII/300-550MHz/64-512MB. Probably worth less than $50.
It uses a PCI video adapter. Don't waste your money on an expensive one. Check if the Win 95 or 98 drivers are available before you buy.

If it has got a PCI slot, most 4, 8 or 16mb PCI graphics card should work. I use a 2mb and 16mb PCI graphics card for throubleshooting graphics problems and motherboards from a Slot1 up to current model of motherboards. PCI cards also come in handy in my overclocking adventures (and misadventures).
