I am thinking of upgrading from XP to Windows 7 but after running the Windows 7 upgrade tool it advises me that my built-in graphics card doesnt support Windows aero.

Is it possible to install a graphics card that does support it on this motherboard? Any help is much appreciated!

If you have a slot to put it in, certainly!

Yep .... any PCI-E (x16) card will work fine.

Ahhh, but, although any PCI-E card will fit are they all Win7 compatible... Something to consider.

Look here:

Particularly look at the two sticky threads. The Intel graphics in my Samsung Q35 is fine BTW.
