^^If it has a PCI-e slot, you can use all PCi-e graphics cards. Don't buy a 7 series card now.
Whats your budget ?

Dont get confused.....you can use any card :|.

Go for the NVIDIA 8600GT 256 MB GDDR3 for around 3k.

DONT buy XFX 8600s. They're the hottest cards ever made.
And Mercury isn't good. Buy ASUS EN8600GT.

well...look for 8600gt or 9500gt.....if its 8600gt,give xfx a miss.asus,msi are good.
while going for any one,keep in mind to get the faster ddr3 versions....they are in the 4.2-4.5k price bracket.

^^Mercury falls under 3.2k :D.

I suggest that you buy a 9500GT rather than a 8600GT.

If you do buy 8600GT than go for the ASUS or the MSI one. Mercury is cheaper but well, the brand is infamous.
