thnx.but are u sure?becoz the shopowners here are quite difficult to deal with.once they sell me the card,they will refuse to take back the card if it doesnot run on my pc.
pls confirm and reply.
thnx again,in advance.

Go through the mobo manual and check if it has given any list of graphic card.As not all cards(8x)will work in 4x mode.so double check before buying a graphic card.

if u r still confused just go through this links
