Graphics cards (GDDR2)

[lucky_s7even]

I want to update my craphics card and I was wondering since i have DDR2 RAM would only that type of card run in my PC, or would i be able to run a GDDR2 card?

Any help would be appreciated.

System memory has nothing to do with graphics card memory.
The only thing to be bothered about, as regards compatibility, is whether you need an AGP or a PCIE card.

Also you need to check whether your PC's power supply is of sufficient wattage. E.g I have a 650W dual rail PSU powering an Asus board capable of having two SLI graphics cards.

If you are referring to me,joecool641, I am not showing off, merely trying to demonstrate that if you want a gaming system, then you have to choose your components accordingly.

FWIW ,
AGP cards are being phased out - try and head down the PCIe route if you can.
More modern mobos will have the PCIe slot, older ones may not.
