Graphic compatibility with motherboard

[ksh_kshi]

Hello,
can somebody please tell me the list of Graphic cards compatible with Intel Grand Country DG101GGC.

You have a PCI express slot, although I can't tell if it's PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0.

Also, there's a LOT more to consider than just a motherboard, please list your power supply, what CPU you have, and what memory you have, and what you plan on using the computer for

For technical specifications on your motherboard, reference:

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15113/eng/D101GGC_TechProdSpec.pdf

And either way, any PCI Express video card will work, as long as you have the Power Supply to supply the proper power for it.

Yup, as long as you have pci-e slot on your motherboard then you can add any pci-e card...

Your motherboard is released at 2005, so i guess it only has pci-e rev 1.0.
What are you going to do with this card? game? watching videos?

Thanks for your help borisof007
I am just upgrading my PC for better performance
I have already upgraded my memory to 2GB DDR
Here's what may help

1.6 PCI Express* Connectors
The board provides the following PCI Express connectors:
• One PCI Express x16 connector supporting simultaneous transfer speeds up to 8 GBytes/sec
• One PCI Express x1 connector. The x1 interface supports simultaneous transfer speeds up to
500 MBytes/sec
The PCI Express interface supports the PCI Conventional bus configuration mechanism so that the
underlying PCI Express architecture is compatible with PCI Conventional compliant operating
systems. Additional features of the PCI Express interface include the following:
• Support for the PCI Express enhanced configuration mechanism
• Automatic discovery, link training, and initialization
• Support for Active State Power Management (ASPM)
• SMBus 2.0 support
• Wake# signal supporting wake events from ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5
• Software compatible with the PCI Power Management Event (PME) mechanism defined in the
PCI Power Management Specification Rev. 1.1
