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

Does the Graphics card go in the white slot?

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. :)

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.

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.

Thankyou everybody,
I will now have to decide on a graphics card.
I need one that has 64mb graphics and is reasonably cheap.

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.

Hi,
I really Didn't want to spend much money on the computer since I recycled an old computer I got for free and then built it for a 6 year old, so he can do minor tasks with it. If it was for me I would have not used any old parts.

Thats a good idea and I agree it would be better to get a board with integrated graphics.:D

I have seen a new board with integrated video, dual core CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and new power supply for around $400. Don't go cheap on the power supply.

Just for the record, the small brown slot is NOT a graphics slot. Instead, it is an AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot. The only way of upgrading the graphics would be to install a PCI card in one of the white slots. However, given the age of the motherboard (it has a black ISA slot), I would be inclined to upgrade it as Shawn and Michael recommend.

Thank you Dwarf,
That's just what I was trying to clear up.:D

But once again, if it was a computer I built for myself I would have spent $1000 not $0000.:p
