I need help regarding compatability issues in upgrading my computer?

Your 9500 will work just fine with the motherboard in that package as it has an 8x AGP slot.

If your interested in gaming then some of the other suggestions about moving to a PCI Express motherboard and video card would be good but doing that will cost you quite a bit more.

On the other hand if you're not planning on doing any serious 3D gaming or 3D design and rendering, then stick with your plan.

Nope, totally different slot on the motherboard. AGP will not work with PCI-e motherboards.

If it is about the video card, then bail on the AGP or 9500 and find an good PCI-e. If you stay with the AGP slot now, you will be screwing yourself over in the future.

Yes the graphics card is compatible with the new motherboard.

Your graphics card has an AGP interface, so does the new mother board. It should work fine. Stick with an AGP card, they're faster.

Honestly, I have no idea....sorry! What I can tell you is that if you call the manufacturer of the ATI Radeon 9500, you can usually speak to a tech. support team. Just explain to them what you're looking to do and they should be able to assist you in telling you if it's compatible; and if not, tell you what would be.

Good Luck :)

If your ATI graphics card connects to your current motherboard using an AGP slot, then I believe they are compatible.

nforce3 motherboards have AGP 8x

it's ok ...but you will have to get a better grafic card...my advice is to spend some money on a PCIe grafic card and a mother board for it... becose is you will play advance games your procesor will have no pb ...but your grafic card will

Take your computer to the computer speed shop and ask the doctor there if he can do this.
