what graphic card can I get for the above motherboard PCI Express x16 slot. I heard diff mobo can support certain graphic card but I dunno what I can support.
After google I found tat x16 can support NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT, I not into high graphic games, What graphic card should I get for maya 3d max software, dota online games. budget around RM200-300.

PCI Express X16 fit any PCI-Express graphic card.
Rm300 roughly can get 8500GT DDR3.
RM380 8600GT

But i think 8600GT is better.

Asus 8500GT 256mb DDr2

Any pcie graphics card will suit you fine, just get one that fits your budget.

I'm blur about ddr/ddr2/ddr3 for graphic cards.
But for memory card the ddr is hella exp than ddr2, while ddr3 are faster n even exp n more advance than ddr2.

For me, ddr is juz a slot card ryt?

and how do I know if my mobo can use ddr2 or ddr3 or ddr. I read my mobo booklet only memory slot got say support ddr2 667/533/400 mhz but PCIE slot dont have stat about ddr.
BTW my mobo is Gigaybyte GA-VM900M

hd 2600xt
8600gt
8500gt
hd2600pro
geforce 8400gs

ddr is not a slot card. it a ram chip.

your mobo ram and your GC ram is two diff things...PCI-E is just slot...the ddr chip is on the GC PCB..

Asus 2600PRO ddr2
Sapphire 2600Pro 256MB DDR2
Colorful X1650GT 256 DDR3

all price below rm300

7600gs, 7300gt , second hand 7600gt..can get below RM 300..

Hmm what about GT,GS,GTS means?

2.256MB WinFast 8500GT PCI Express

always go for DDR3 ,
i will choose MSI .

512mb in 128bit is a no no, because 128bit bottleneck the big memory size.

GT, GS and GTS is type of GC...GS is slower than GT...GT is slower than GTS...i will go for HD2600PRO rather than 8500GT..

Thanks for the reply.

yup I will choose 256MB Palit HD2600Pro PCI Express if thats the real spec for it, windows xp service pack 2 can use it ryt? coz I saw its list built for windows vista.

EDit:PSU 500 watt can support the graphic card or not? Any MMORPG gamer here? can 2600pro play WOW,hellgate n DOTA?

yup. that is real spec...can use in xp sp2....500 watt is sufficient already....i think 2600Pro can play those games quite well...

i tested a 2600Pro recently. it's a great card for it's price. 500w is more than enough for 2600Pro.
