Hello Everybody. I need a graphic card with 512 MB. My Budget is Rs5000/-.
Please also tell me that whether the card is compatible with my board GIGABYTE 8I845GVMRZ. I have CeleronD 2.40 GHz Processor.:!:

8I845GVMRZ doesn't have PCI-Express slot and so you cannot install a graphics card.

desiibond is right. Your motherboard does not have a PCI-Express or AGP slot. Either one is needed to install a graphics card.

Those three slots are PCI, not PCI-E. PCI slots are for general expansion cards like sound card, network card, etc. In the past, PCI slots were also used for graphics cards, but that was long ago.

Modern graphics cards that can be fitted into a standard PCI slot are very rare. I don't think you'll be able to find them in India. Sorry.
