Also are you looking for a AGP or PCI?

both but perfably agp, and i am also looking for a pci sound card, under 100 bucks CA

i found that card on ncix canada http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php? ... e=SAPPHIRE

its the same card right?






it says that you need a intel processor, does the fact that i have a amd mean that it won't work on my computer. and it says you have to have a 300 watt power supply, how do i find out how many watts mine is?

look at the power supply, and it should work with the amd, just check the mother board, thats usually the deciding factor

the power supply said max output was 230, so that card won't work then? and what do you mean by check the motherboard?

230 wont work ud need 300+ so u dont need to worry about the motherboard unless you buy a new power supply

ok, so what about this one: http://secure.ncix.com/products/custome ... imageframe

Yes, unless you want to prep the comp for any future updates, that will do.

what do you mean?
i am adding ram and a sound card to, how do i know this ram will work? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php? ... acture=RAM
i know it will fit in the slot but i do not know if it is the right type

Find out what motherboard you have, post the name here, and Ill tell you what you can get for it.

and i find that out how? i know the left click properties on My Computer, so do i go to device manager or something?



i really am a idiot

What kind of computer do you have? Built it yourself? Bought a Dell? Any boxes or papers left on it? How old is it?
