How to find a suitable graphichscard?

Hello!

I got a computer with a motherboard: ASUS P3B-F

I now suspect that the graphiccards is broken. Since the computer hangs when I run Windows 2000 and Mandrake 10.1. (Strangely it does not hang when i run Mandrake 8.1)

I'm not so good at hardware so if any one could advise me of a simple suitable graphiccard, not for advanced gaming prestanda, just for simple use.

I would like to be able to run Win 2000 and Mandrake 10.1.

I tried to find a graphicscard my self but could not understand if it is a PCI or AGP, my guess is that it must be a PCI. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So is any one could give me an advise, it would be great. The graphicard must not cost more then 80 euro or 800 swedish crowns.

Best regards
Fredrik

I dont think that it is a pci card when the pci is very new....

only the newest pc's have a pci express port so i think i must be an AGP port...

my guess would be that the motherboard cant work with your graphiccard !!!

i had the self same problem with my old pc...

the sreen just sad still and i couldent do a thing but restart...
the ctrl + alt + delete dident work at all...

at last we found out that my motherboard cuoldent read my graphiccard some how !!!

i dont know why but they just couldent work togheter...

when i put my dads card in it worked just fine !!!

maybe that could be the reason ???

( i dont speak very good english but i hope you understand a little bit of what i wrote !!! :D)

i have found the specifications on your motherboard:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/asus-p3b-f.html

A interesting line is this:

AGP
Supports 2x mode AGP 66/133MHz 3.3V devices.

This line says that the agp slot on the motherboard do not support newer graphic cards. If you are able to put a newer card in the motherboard you will fry it.
Newer graphic cards only runs on 1,5 Volt like the fx geforce 5700 le mentioned by madsqr.

Ok!

That means that I must get a card that uses 3.3 Volt. Is that right?

Hello!
I acctually think that I have solved my mystery with my hanging computer.

My network card was installed too close to my graphics card so my guess is that my graphicscard got overheated. This happend boot with Win 2000 and Mandrake 10.1, but not with Mandrake 8.1.

Now I have changed the positions and got more air in between the cards and the computer has run for 30 minutes now without any hanging.

What do you think? Could it be that easy?
