Which Graphics Card

Hi everyone, I've just upgraded my Desktop from Win XP to Win 7.

My graphics card is not supported by Win 7.

My system is:


MSI MS-7021 KT4A-V VER:1 Socket 462 Motherboard

Radeon 7500 128MB DDR +DVI+TV Graphics Card

ATX 500 PSU

Can anyone recommend a replacement graphics card compatible with my mother board?
I don't do gaming but want better graphics than generic.

Thanks in anticipation

That is one VERY old motherboard and its graphics support is through AGP which hasn't had a new card made in years. You might seriously want to consider a full system upgrade as I can imagine Windows 7 being rather slow. If not your best bet will be a Radeon 9550 off eBay.
 
Don't throw away any more money into a socket 462 system.

You have the Windows 7 license in hand, pair it with something like an HP DC7900 or DC5850 you can easily obtain on the cheap.

The dc5850's onboard graphic chip is nearly as powerful as that 6800 agp card. And you have the pci-e slot to through in an even more powerful (and far more energy efficient) card than the 6800 if you so desire.
