I have a Soltek SL-85MIR3 motherboard and 1056mg ram in a desktop and the graphics card is a Nvidia GE Force 4 MX 420 64mb, I would like to upgrade this to at least 256mb or 512mb please help. Thank you
 
That is an AGP board. May I ask the reason you need to upgrade? Upgrading the amount of ram really doesn't have huge benefits in most cases. Your best bet is to pick up a cheap replacement on craigslist or eBay.

I want to upgrade the graphics card because my son has purchased a game and needs min 128 mg graphics card to play it.
My knowledge of computers is limited and need to know which one is compatible
