I couldn't find your exact mobo when I went looking for it. But I found one similar, I think, if your board will handle 8x AGP then you should be OK. But how big is your power supply? When you put a bigger video card like that in it takes a lot of power. If your power supply is to small or too cheaply built you can have all kinds of problems with your computer...

If your power supply is to small or too cheaply built you can have all kinds of problems with your computer... well, as i said my power supply is a 400 wats one, and i dunno if necesarily maters but its size is around 10x15x7centimeters, and my mobo has an 8x agp. and man, now that you say i cud have problems with a cheap PS, sometimes my computer randomly doesnt wanna start up when i press the on/off button, i know theres power because the side fan starts spining, but just for a second then it completely shuts down along with the rest of the system. maybe i gotta buy a new case with a new better power supply along with it. i got 100 bucks on my pocket rite now to go waste in a new case(i say waste because all of my pc improving labor is for video games  ) u just tell what kind of power suply i gotta buy, thats what really matters and i ll seek for a deluxe case with that built in PS.PD: how do you think that my computer(described up there) will do with the latest video games? and what about the future, i dunno much about this i can just wonder or ask you. sorry about the extended quote -.- |

Anyway, I was just checking out the specifications for your motherboard. I can't find any documentation that says it even takes an AGP card. Do you currently have an AGP card? If that is the case, then I am looking at the wrong manual.
I would recommend that you look into a new keyboard. It appears that shift keys are broken. -------------------- |
