As i mentioned in the title, i need help with purchasing a video card at a low price. I need it for a friends system which is very old.
System info:
OS - Windows XP, Version 5.1.2600
Mother board - AM2NF6G-VSTA - ASRock
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500
RAM - 2GB Kingston 800Mhz DDR2 RAM
Video Card - X550 ATI Radeon 256MB DDR2 (The one failing :-( )

The graphics card in mind should be low budget, any suggestions are apreciated.

That should work but it's probably double the price of the one I listed and will be hugely held back by the CPU. Check with the vendor if it will run in a PCIe rev 1 slot though.

The main thing i was worried about was if it even can support new cards. I thought it was capable, but i needed someone to tell me that :) Thank you for your answer :)
 


Yes, it has a PCIe 16x slot for newer cards. One thing to watch out for it that some new cards are not compatible with PCIe rev 1 slots.
