Newb Graphics card advice

[Bob Ross]

Hi all,

I have a 4CoreDual-VSTA mother board...........

I was wondering what the best graphics card I can put in it is?

I'm looking to spend about £50 to £90 (less is better).
I was looking at the x1950
...................
But this says it is PCIe x16 and my board is PCIe x4 (I think - doesn't say on the Asrock site it simply says PCI Express).
They are not compatible, are they?

Should I go for the AGP version of the x1950?
Or is there a better option considering my old PCIe x4 board?

Please read the FAQ re. competitors, JG

PCI-E version of the x1950 is compatible, see here :-

http://www.asrock.com/mb/vga.asp?Model=4COREDUAL-VSTA&s=, and is the best card to get in that price range.

OcUK 512mb one is a steal at £78 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-064-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=404
