i know nothing about graphics cards, all i know is they can be good or bad...
i need a graphics card for less than 150. around 100 would be preferable...
how do u know which card is better, by memory or what its confusing to me

Does your motherboard have an AGP 4/8x slot or Pci-e express 16?
Whats the card for? No point buying a $20 card if you want to play F.E.A.R or a $400 card if you want to look at your emails.

u also picked the wrong ram pin, ur mobo supports 184(ddr400, 3200), that ram pin is 280(ddr533 4200)
your budget is better than mine, i envy you lol :p
Why buy a motherboard with onboard graphics if you intend to buy a graphics card?
In fact that onboard video looks quite good.Onboard Video Chipset nVIDIA GeForce 6100
You have also shown me a board and chipset I wasn't aware of. New material to study!

wait so can anyone point out a ram that would be right for me (preferablly cosair and 2X 512mb to equal 1024) for as cheap as possible and how good is that onboard graphics because i read somewhere that onboard graphics are bad
2x512MB DDR400 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145440
This is a very new motherboard with Nvidia 6100 onboard. I cannot tell you yet how good it is but it's not for extreme gaming performance but still quite good.
Here is another motherboard with even better onboard graphics: http://www.pcstats.com/releaseview.cfm?ReleaseID=1301
If you really are looking for an advanced gaming system then choose a board without onboard graphics.
