In cases such as ATI Raedon or GeForce, do those cards work in any computer?

The biggest issue I've seen with Video card compatability is the user being sold AGP cards when they dont have AGP slots. This can become very frustrating. Make sure you know what format card you need ahead of time.\n\nAs for software compatibility, XP can handle pretty much everything you toss at it, unless the card is extremely old. Even if you have an older card, odds are that the company who made it has created drivers that are publically available that will work on the operating system of your choice. If you are buying a card new off the shelf, just make sure you read the Minimum Requirements tab on the side of the box.\n\nAs for most boards having an AGP slot in the last 3 years, that is COMPLETELY untrue. I know for a fact that Dell computers use boards that never have AGP slots. Do not assume, open up your computer and take a look.

You can check the minimum specs on the box itself or right the id software website.  From what I see your machine will handle it on lower settings.  You will need to throw that video card in first.

They are called PCMCIA cards and will fit into the side of pretty much any laptop. Slots straight in, installation is a breeze. My mum could do it.

No.\nyou have to have the type of graphics card it recommends.\nthere is no way to "trick" your computer to think it has something it doesn/t

Your Chip set is NVidia nForce 410 and  Video Output Interface PCI Express, it depends on who much you want to spend on a Graphics Card, i would suggest GeForce 7 series

100% sure that I am not.\n\nI can tell you though that the PCI Express x1 should be able to work in a "higher" slot (ie. x16).\n\nI know this to be true for AGP, but then again PCI Express is a tad different. NewEGG rules.\n\nHappy Easter.

First off, all the cards you listed will be able to handle any games you want to play, so it comes down to preference (nVidia vs. ATI) and what kind of budget you're working with.\n\nMore importantly, what kind of system do you own? What kind of mobo do you have? Is it even capable of holding AGP or PCI-E cards? If you have a PCI-E compatible motherboard, it might be in your best interest to go that route, for future upgradeability. However, most AGP cards are capable of powering any of todays games, and AGP is usually less $$ taxing than PCI-E. You'll probably want to stay away from any PCI cards, as they're almost obsolete, especially if all you want to do is play games.\n\nGiven the fact that I have no idea what kind of machine you're using, I can't really give an educated suggestion (sorry). As far as the cards listed go, the 6800 is a damn fine PCI-E card, for what it's worth.

Yes but it's not worth it Because PCI won't allow to share memory from the motherboard like AGP or PCI express will. \nYou have a decent Card For a PCI.

It depends on what you will use it for. Games, business, etc. It also depends on on your motherboard. Does it have PCI, AGP, PCI-Express. If it has PCI-Express, get a video card for that particular slot. Me personally, I stick with NVidia. You can't go wrong with either a NVidia or ATI card. As for the best and cheapest, start buying Maximum PC. They do Vs. features which will help with taking the guesswork out of deciding which video card is best for you. Good luck!

Plenty.  I was going to say any of the Radeon X series or NVIDIA 6000/7000 series.

It depends on the chip used for the integrated graphics, but most on-board video cards would have a tough time with WoW or Galaxies.  Depending on if you have an AGP port of PCI-Express port on your motherboard, there are a number of budget cards that would allow you to play those games at a decent speed and frame rate without killing your wallet.  I run an old AGP Radeon 9600 and it is able to play WoW perfectly well.

tough one...\n\nIt is not so much the graphic cards memory size that you need to consider. One card with a memory of 128 may be a lot better than a card with a memory of 256, it is all down to the cards architecture/speed/pipelines etc.\n\nout of the above listed, they are both very similar cards, perhaps the geforce just edging it.\n\ngo to www.ebuyer.co.uk and see what cards have been commonly bought within your price range, may give you a clearer idea on what to get, read the reviews people have left on the cards too.

You can buy a card with any type of graphics memory you want, as long as it is AGP 8x.  The higher the number of graphics memory the better, although GDDR2 is not very good, so probably look for something with GDDR3.  There are not currently any cards out with GDDR4 for AGP.

The motherboard is an ASUS A7V-VM\nhttp://a7v.free.fr/Manuel%20a7v-vm%20quickstart.pdf\n\nHere is a link to a PCI graphics card available at Radio Shack -  \nhttp://www.radioshack.com/product/index....\n\nPCI graphics cards generally do not have any compatibility issues, unfortunately they are way outdated because PCI graphics use the slowest bus for graphics performance.

not much. spend about 30 bucks more and get a 6600GT 128meg card. works with all games. very nice for the price. go to www.newegg.com  they have the best deals.

PNY Verto GeForce 6200 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8x/4x / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card and  Diamond Radeon X1300 / 256MB DDR2 / AGP 8x/4x / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card\nbut just buy a cheap pc with pci e
