hmm. pci-e and agp? that's not possible. what is the motherboard's model number?

I think you have AGP slot and one PCI slot.

i love that idea. But my pc has no gfx card at all to run application like blender, maya PLE, a basic graphic card will do a good job. Mean while i'll download and play some HD content too which demands a good graphic solution. That's why i want to buy a basic graphic card. However now i am wating. SOme vendor in my town said that the rates of graphic cards is going to decrease in the recent future(1-1.5 months).

Thnaks for suggestion.

Sorry dude. My Pc with on board graphics can run Maya 8 PLE, 3dx max trial, AutoCad 2004 applications very well. But when i am rendering textures if i view in 3d view. The image navigation will be sticky. Now i am adding a gfx card(don't mind the range) i am sure that i can see a increse in rendering speed:).

Clear dude?;-)
