ram = 1gb ddr2
vcard = winfast px6600 td 256 which is broken so im using my built in :P

planning to add another 1gb ram. but i dont know what vcard should i buy,im choosing between the two DDR2 GeForce 9500Gt, GDDR3 GeForce 9600Gt will a video card that indicates ddr3 work with my mobo and ram?but im using a ddr2 ram. does that mean i should use the ddr2? ???

DDR3 RAM on a vid card will work on that machine...has nothing to do with your onboard RAM.

ddr3RAM is newer and faster...employed on mostly newer vid cards.
