I will be using an AMD A10-6800k with a biostar motherboard. I will try to run Linux on the machine as well. Will this GPU work? Will it bog down the on board graphics that come with the APU? And I can't seem to find how big this GPU is. I think it is a 512 mb right? It was given to me for free and I was wondering it would be an "upgrade" compared to not having one.

compatible but pointless. i have an A6-3650 and the HD6350 that's inside the chip is better than the nVid 9400GT that i installed - and the ONLY reason i stuffed that card in there is because i needed to run multiple monitors, beyond what the onboard could handle.

i'd toss it or maybe keep it as a spare / backup, in case some other old machine is in need of a GPU.
