Hey guys i ave a pci-e slot and with my onboard intel graphics i face stutter when playing hd vids. i have a 3.0 HT intel processor and 1 gb ram ddr1. i wanted sugesstions for a graphics card which is not very expensive coz i dont want t waste my fund n my old pc. but the card must play without stutter and must be able to output video on a lcd monitor if i keep it at a resolution of 1366*768....also the graphics card must be able to upscale very low reslution vidsto the lcd native resolution like a charm coz the intel one give many prbs when i do that. will a nvidia 8400 gs suffice. thanks in advance.

actually i have a agp slot but im swapping my motherboard with my office one which was bought at tht same time and has a pci e slot. but if anyone knows a agp slot card that will also do i just tought of swapping the motherboards coz the vendor here says all agp cards are out of stock.
 
Getting an AGP card would be difficult and more costly.. Since you are getting the motherboard for no extra investment, there is no reason for you to stick with your current motherboard.. Just make sure the motherboard works perfectly in your system.. All cards suggested by ct1615 are good for your needs.. If you can access newegg, consider the following deals -
