Heyyo,

For Norm PCI? I suggest just getting a new mobo with at least agp and a ATI Radeon 9600 PRO or XT.. but if you're really onna tight budget? I guess a ATI Radeon 9550 is ok, but I'd still rather get a AGP card... PCI's are very slow...

PCI-Express? I suggest the Nvidia 6600GT for budget, and for more power? ATI x800 XT PE cause they're pretty strong, and have good pricing for it. (Nvidia's equivalent was like $20 CDN more last time I checked...)

How much does a new motherboard cost with the installation?

Darth - that is probably the best board for plain old PCI. It still is pretty fast even compared to lower end AGP.

Panda - my motherboard cost me about $125. A Chaintech nForce 4 Ultra with PCI-e costs about $135.

Yeah, my video card made up a little less than half the cost of my pc (entire thing cost me about $1100). It used to be that mobos and such were very expensive, but those were the P2/P3 days.
