Hey guys,
I wanted to know the best graphics card I could get that's under $200 and compatible with a 1.1 or 1.0 pcie slot x16. I was originally going to get the Zotac Geforce Gtx 750 before finding out it wasn't compatible with a 1.1 slot after calling the manufacturer. I would like for someone to be a 100% sure it would work with my computer because I don't wanna waste my money on something that won't work. My computer specs are below (I know they're not great).

Processor: intel core(tm) 2 4300 @ 1.80ghz

Ram: 3gb

System type: 32 bit

Power Supply: 500w

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

First you need more RAM. Second, PCI-E 3.0 cards are compatible with 1.1 slots, but there will be a performance hit. The 28.8 GB/s is memory bandwidth. That is different than the interface bandwidth between the card and the rest of the PC. I think a GTX 760 would be more than enough for your rig and wouldn't require a massive PSU.
