| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: I don't know what graphics cards will fit Hi Fastboy, Here is a link to your motherboard manufacturer's website with all of the specs and more for it. GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Specification - GA-6VEML According to it, you have 3 PCI slots (white ones) and 1 ISA slot (brown one). It says that the motherboard already has a integrated video chip with a VGA output if you wanted to use it. If not, then you can use any older PCI (not PCI-E or PCI Express) graphics card. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: I don't know what graphics cards will fit Yes, for a PCI graphics card. If you add one, you will need to go into the BIOS and disable the integrated graphics chip afterwards.  |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: I don't know what graphics cards will fit Not sure on how much you'd want to spend on a PCI GPU but here's probably one of the better one's you could get. Sparkle GeForce 9400 GT Video Card - 1GB DDR2, PCI, DVI, VGA SP94GT1024D2LHP at TigerDirect.com Although you may have to look into an older card. I'm not 100% sure on if a PCI GPU and the Pentium 3 will have any bottlenecking issues. If that's the case you might want to look into something more of this quality. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...5014&CatId=319 Last edited by Shahal; 03-27-2009 at 02:50 AM.. |

| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: I don't know what graphics cards will fit its possible to connect an AGP card, the brown slot is AGP but on a smaller interface  the FX series of nvidia AGP cards can fit into this slot. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: I don't know what graphics cards will fit I would agree with Michael. You can most likely get a newer motherboard that has a integrated graphics chip that would be better than most any graphics card you could buy for the old motherboard. |
