Video Card upgrade??? Help!!!

I own a Compaq Presario SK1303WM with motherboard type...

Manufacturer : MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD
Model : Gamila/Giovani/Neon series Rev. 030
CPU Slot/Socket Type : mPGA-478
Chipset Vendor : Intel i845G Rev. B1
Bios Manufacturer : Phoenix Technologies, LTD
Bios Version : 3.25

I am wanting to upgrade video card...but do not know what type to get...I do know that this motherboard has a built in card...but that is about it. I am getting conflicting information from Compaq about the motherboard type...when I run Everest I get info listed above...they are saying that I have a:

Mb manufacturer name: ASUS A7V8X-LA

HP/Compaq name: Kelut-GL6E. (sorry if these are the same...not too computer savvy)

I just want a new memory card...Please help

Thanks!

 

How much money are you wanting to spend? What are you going to use it for?

 

I really just need to know what kind to get...I play a lot of games on computer and run a lot of graphic(s) software. AGP or PCI?

 

You have an AGP slot, so you need an AGP card.

 

So would this one be ok?

Geforce FX 6200 256MB AGP 256 FX6200 Video Card

System Requirements
Intel/VIA/SIS/ALI/ULI/nFORCE/ATI/AMD motherboard with one AGP8X/4X slot
128MB System Memory (256MB is suggested)
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Drive(driver installtion requirement)
500MHZ above AMD/Intel CPU
Windows 98/ME/XP/2000/2003

 

It comes down on what games and how much you want to spend. You can spend anything from AU$100 to over AU$1000 and each will better at doing certain things and for games etc. Also check out some reviews on graphic cards through google and places like toms hardware if you got some cards in mind.
