512mb of DRR ram ( when i get card upgrading it to 2gb)

Did you mean DDR Ram Carp?

 

I'd upgrade it to 2GB anyway, over and above the graphics card aspect.

 

Vista Home Premium on 512 will be slow.

Yes i meant that and the pc that im on i vista home prem but im upgrading my other xp pc

So will the graphics card work or not? thanks

No, the video card will not work on that board.

 

The board is a Socket 754 and has an AGP x 8 slot, the card is a newer PCI-E card.

 

I'd consider your proposed upgrades carefully, swapping your board means swapping your RAM and CPU as well as your video card. You may also need to swap your power supply for an upgraded one.

 

It's almost a new build when you get to those levels, and you can do better with your money.

 

I'd be tempted to sell the unit as a running unit and put the money towards a higher spec unit - a second hand AMD AM2, or Intel Core 2 unit for example.

 

Also, swapping out a working board does go against Microsoft Windows licensing rules unless you have a full Retail version.

if you swap out those parts i recon you will 99% sure get a blue screen of death.

microsofts os's check your hardwar on activation, when you change it all it will not like it one bit...

if you want to put a new board in and cpu etc etc (how far you going?) then you may just need a new license key too.

is this pc a home built or a manufacturered one.(sorry if my spelling sucks tonight, been in hospital)..

you CANNOT swap a OEM pc parts and still expect to use the license key LEGALLY.

you will need to purchase a new key.......
