Hello,i have an importent announcement, for who buy the GForce 6 series or 7 like i did my GForce 7600 512 which i bought. Before you buy a videocard plz check this, That you mother bored is PCI express, because the new video cards has the PCI express, if your computer works on different motherbored, not PCI you will have to buy new one, then buy new proccesor and new memory card as it should be a DDR or DDR2 or DDR3 , it is importent, because when i bouth my video card in TigerDirect, as i think you probebly know that store they told i have to change all my system because one Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad videocard, because my motherbored wasnt PCI, so i have to pay more money about another $ 500 to replace all the parts. SO PEOPLE BEFORE BUYING PLZ CHECK IF UR MOTHERBORED IS PCI EXPRESS, if not buy new one and cange the proccesor and the memory card you will have to. Thank you. OR if ou installed you videocard and ur motherbored is old it can cause to ur computer to slow dwn, or not work.

You know, instead of a new motherboard and CPU, you could just have bought an AGP videocard...

I know you're trying to help, but if you don't know if you're running pci-e or AGP, you probably shouldn't be out by yourself purchasing hardware.

FWIW you can still buy 6 & 7 series GeForce cards and 8xx series ATI cards in AGP format, you just didn't know to ask.

It's all a learning experience!
