which card to have.....

ok well im researching a card that i wanna get and i heard that i cant have a card greater than 256MB in my pc which has a Dell Optiplex GX260 motherboard and i wanted to know if i could use this card oh and by the way i am going to use dual monitors.

here is the 512MB one:

Amazon.com: EVGA 512-A8-N403-LR GeForce 6200 LE 512MB DDR2 AGP Graphics Card: Electronics

Or if i should get this one which is a 256MB:

Amazon.com: EVGA 256-A8-N341-LX e-GeForce 6200 256MB DDR2 AGP Graphics Card: Electronics


Thank-You

First, what do you mean you can't have a card with more than 256MB of onboard RAM?

that the computer motherboard wont support more than 256 mb of ram on the card.

Hrm, well then get the one with 256mb of RAM on it.

Thanks, however, i found that i have an Intel 845G Chipset. Umm... will these cards work in it?

Newegg.com - HIS H467Q1GHDAP Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

or perhaps this one?:

Newegg.com - HIS H365F512ANP Radeon HD 3650 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

I'm sorry, im a huge noob at this stuff.

Here's what I want you to do. Google SIW, download that program and find out what motherboard your computer has, report it back here so I can examine it. It shouldn't make a difference what your chipset is and what card it will support, as long as you have the right BUS.

Here is what Zen00 wants you to run to get your system specs :
