Hi guys!

Currently I'm working on an rather old PC with an onboard graphic-chip. I just installed Win 7 and it works great - the only problem is, areo isn't working on this machine... and now I'm looking for an cheap graphic card that meets the necessary requirements for aero. I don't play games or use graphic programs, so I really don't need a good graphic card - all I want is areo to work. So, if there are any recommendations on which graphic card I can buy, I'd very much appreciate any hints!

many thanks in advance!

Hi yuluka....;)

according to your boards specs you have an AGP GFX port, id reccomend one of these..

HD3650 , this is a DX10 card which will run Aero all day long...... you'll also be good for some very light gaming.
