Doesn't matter what brand PCI express 2.0
It doesn't have to be new either i would pay shipping if included with the $50

And I could trade for a AM3 Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2, a AM3 cpu cooler(OEM)

 
What are you planning on doing with the graphics card? $50 is really a bad price point. $70 (AR) gets you a Radeon 5670, which can play most games at medium settings. $15 (AR) gets you something of the Radeon 4350/4550 quality. It can decode blu-ray, I think, and play a large portion of games on LOW settings, especially when in Window Mode.

search on Ebay for 8800 GTS 640, it is still a great performer for that price range.

heres one

its 10.99 above 50, performance is I think better than 9600 GT, If I were you I would go for a 9800 GTX at least, but if your power supply isn't upto it just get a 4670 instead, I just sold mine a week ago.

Now I myself am looking for a 8800 GTS 512 or 9800 GTX for a good price...
 
I have some PCI-e 2.0 Graphics cards to trade you. I want the motherboard trade. What revision is the board (1.0-3.5)?

EVGA GeForce 9600GSO 768MB (DDR2 version, no external power required, about 2/3 of a 9800GT. It has a high stable OC)
XFX GeForce 9600GSO 512MB
Radeon HD 4550 128MB (512MB Hyper memory)

Depending on your PSU, the 9600GSO 768MB or Radeon 4550 might be great for you. The 9600GSO 768MB can play all games windowed and a lot of games fullscreen just fine. It can run Dragon Age at 1680x1050 on max settings. The 9600GSO 512MB is about 75% of a 9800GT and needs a 4-pin molex (or maybe it's 6-pin standard PCI-e) connector.

These cards range in worth from roughly $20 (4550) to $40 (9600GSO 512). Considering your motherboard goes for $55 new on newegg, I think we could make a pretty good trade (with extra cash going your way depending on the card you want). Only the 4550 has HDMI out. Let's make a deal.

(I just got interested in your motherboard because I just acquired a Phenom II x2 555BE).

Sorry I just had my friend fry the mobo(electric shock i want to smack him so hard) it doesn't work now but the problem is with the intergrated video card or curcuit out from the card.(Troubleshooting) Sorry i would still be interested in the video card and I have a new jetway laying around that i tested a week or two ago and was fine. it may bottleneck you a little (M26GT4D3) but i trade for lie 10ish
 
Sorry, but the Jetway isn't comparable. I was hoping to use the ACC feature to unlock cores and the Jetway only runs Hypertransport at 1000MHz instead of 2600MHz--the same as my AM2 board. Thanks though.
