[Maia_96]

Motherboard I have in my computer is ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5N-T DELUXE 1.XX. please let me know what graphics card I can buy. This is my sons old computer, I do not want to play any games just to watch some videos and brows the internet.

I would like tu upgrade memory as well. I have to PCI slots and just two 2048MB memory sticks.

Please advise of suitable graphics card as this one is dying and what is the max memory I can put in and how much it would cost.

many thanks

Maia

Maia. Welcome to the forums.

You should not post your email address in an open forum. Any replies will be to this thread. And if you want to send a message to one of use, you can send a private message by clicking on the green envelope under your user name.

Video card - if all you are going to do is browse the internet and look at video (in other words, basic computer stuff), any inexpensive PCIe card will do. Something like a Geforce210 or Radeon HD5450 will work nicely.

If you spend more than the equivalent of $50 US, you have bought more card than you need.

Memory - if you have 4 GB of RAM (that's 2 2048MB memory sticks) and a 32 bit operating system (very likely because it is an old computer), you cannot use more memory than you already have installed until you upgrade to a 64 bit operating system.

Thanks a lot for the advise. I bought new graphics card for $50 AUD and my computer works just fine.
