If this should be posted in H/A, I apologize!
My computer has a problem .... I'm assuming a video card problem as NOTHING will appear on the screen. I have (had) a ATI Sapphire X1950 GT that is around 7 years old (give or take). When I took it out and cleaned it and put it back in, I still can't get any images. I don't have onboard graphics on the mobo to test if it's the monitor or something else.
So, I've resolved to buy a new graphics card!
Can anyone tell me if
this crappy graphics card will work with
this old motherboard?
I realize that the graphics card is severely dated and cheap, but so is my motherboard (well, it wasn't at the time). I have next to no money to spend on this. I really only use the comp for internet and the occasional game of LoL.
thanks!

The GT 430 comes with a $15 MIR, but I wouldn't let that be a deciding factor given the spotty success of MIRs. If you end up getting it just think of it as a nice little surprise.
I'll go for the 6450 as money is super tight.
Just out of curiosity, why would the one I posted be a significant step back? Looking at the details it has higher specs all around.
but just out of curiosity, can a graphics card some how kill a monitor? I had been having issues where the monitor would go black but the audio was still there and no amount of monitor turning on and off would help.
I went ahead and rehooked up my old card and it works right as rain!
thanks all!
