| Can any one advise me on PCI-express graphics cards as I don't have a clue. Until 3 days ago the last pc I put together had AGP graphics card connected to it, so now I find that this m/board supports pci-express and I need some advice on what to buy. At the moment I have a pci card in ( 128Mb ) m/board has 512mb on board ( shared - whatever that means??) but I fancy mixing video and music and I know the software can at times be demanding. Any advice or experiences appreciated. cheers |

| 4850 is the best bet right now for most users.

| The 4670 doesn't compare at all. It's in a completely different range. Maybe you're thinking of the 4830.

| Sapphire RADEON HD4850 . Is this the card you are recommending Carbon? If so will this run ok on an AMD m/board - probably a stupid question but I thought I better ask. |

| Yes, if it has a PCI Express x16 slot, it will work fine.
