    Caliban I don't need no steenkin' title!

    Greetings, meowmix1967.

    That board already has a Radeon X1250 GPU installed, which is not bad in its own right. It also supports both PCI Express x16 and PCI Express x1, so the only thing holding you back would be how much you're willing to pay for a good add-on graphics card.

    And, agreed with knightwolf: the M2A-VM supports up to 8gb DDR2 800/667/533 ECC and non-ECC un-buffered memory.
