Re: Graphics card upgrade

Sure, get a SLi setup using two of these.

If not quite what you were looking for, maybe you should state your budget. Note the the Radeon X800 comes in both AGP and PCIe, and you did not state what motherboard you have so we have no way of knowing what type interface you need.

Also note that would be socket 939.

Finally, understand graphics cards are power hungry - make sure your PSU is big enough to handle the increased demands.

Re: Graphics card upgrade

That would appear to be this motherboard: MSI K8N NE04 MS-7125 and it appears to support PCIe.
