Leadtek PX7600 GT Geforce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

1 x AGP Pro/8X (1.5V only)

That is AGP 8X

You do not have PCI_E 16X so the first card will not work here.

For your price you can get a good card. Just verify that it is AGP 8X.

Spend some time and look around. It depends on what you want to do mostly. Avoid cheap cards as they will just die.

I use ATI cards in general. At least you can get an idea of your choices from their site:

ATI 100-435712 Radeon X850PRO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO AGP 4X/8X Video Card -

Post back this scan also:

Also do you know the Wattage of your Power Supply Unit?

hi that scan didnt work a blank screen just showed up.

and i have a 250w supply , a 350w is reccomended

does it matter what brand of power supply i get, i dont want to spend a lot of money on one no more than $50

oh and is a 500wt power supply to powerfull or will that work ok

Are you using IE? That scan only works in IE.

This is worth reading:

http://www.bleedinedge.com/guides/ps...select_01.html

i tried it in ie. didnt work
only thing it showed is direct x.

i didnt really get that stuff bout choosing a psp. i have a 250wat one now and powers everthing fine, the new graphic card recommends 350 so shout i get that or a 400wat one

There is no harm in more. In general they are fairly interchangeable. That link just shows all the details in case you want to be absolutely certain.

In general you will find people advise not to buy cheap PSU's. Less than $50 US is probably not a good idea. Here is a simpler article:

This is a good company for general hardware and at least a place to look at different models and prices:
