    gddr is memory specifically made to handle the demands of graphics processing, it is isolated to the video card and therefore motherboard support is not an issue. gddr 2,3,4 are just different versions, each faster and more efficient then the last.

    as for your motherboard, i would HIGHLY recommend a new one as that one is quite old and will be unable to support any newer graphics cards.

      it means your motherboard can only support PCI and AGP video cards, it cannot support the newer PCIe cards. as i stated before the type of memory on the video card is isolated from the motherboard, therefore motherboard support is not an issue.

      your choices are very slim. your motherboard can only support AGP X4, it is compatible with AGP X8 video cards, however, the speed of the video card will be substantially reduced. i cant seem to find any AGP X4 video cards, all the ones i can find are all AGP X8.
