Will my motherboard work with this 3D card ?

I am looking into buying a new 3D card. My budget is around £130. I have narrowed the options down to these three:

The top two are PCI-E and the bottom one is AGP. I know my motherboard (Gigabtye GA-SINXP1394) supports AGP as my existing card is AGP. However I am not sure if it will support a PCI-E card as there is nothing about this in the manual.

Any help would be appreciated.

No it will not support a pci-e card. YOu would have to get a new motherboard that has a pci-e slot.

Or just get an AGP card. The only thing he couldn't buy would be a 7800GTX which is out of his price range. The AGP 6600GT should be a good upgrade for you.

I would agree a 6600GT can be had for pretty cheap.. if your mobo supports one it wont support the other..
