PCI video cards are way too old school. Is your computer a pre-built or did you buy it? If so, what company?

The reason I ask is you really need to upgrade your motherboard. Motherboards are fairly cheap and would allow you to get a much better video card. However, if you have a computer from a company like Dell, HP, Gateway, etc., you might not even be able to remove the motherboard.

so would one of those 2 links be better than the first one which is the best video card for me out of all three of those since I only have a pci compatible mother board

The first link is broken, so you'll need to fix that or give us some details before we can tell you.

i bought mine off of hp a few months ago when i didnt know anything about computers... and it came with a real piece of crap video card.. something like a realtek intel family chipset... at least i have a 3.06 ghz processor and 1.5 gigs of ram... any advice for the best pci video card i can get out of those 3 links?
