Answer #2
you need to know what slot you have
the 3 cards you pick a not for the same slot (2-PCI 1-PCI-e) and that also could have an AGP slot
get CPU-Z and see what it ID’s your slot as
if it’s PCI-e then dig around to see if you can find a 9600GT or 9800GT those are better that the ones you picked for around $100
and wallmart is high but you got to do what you got to do
Answer #3
well can you download CPU-Z and take a print screen of the motherboard tab. That will provide the necessary info
Answer #4
Is this what u need?
If my computer cant use any of those graphic cards, please seek a graphic card that is around 50-120 dollars. with atleast 512MB VRAM

Thx
Answer #5
well it does have a pci-e slot so that HD 3650 will work. Just make note of the case size and the power supply. You will probably need a bigger psu. But note that the card will probably play some of the latest games on low resolution, its not that great of a card and my HD 3850 needs an update to a better gpu.
Answer #6
Could you tell me a graphics card that will work for my computer. and i wont need to buy anything else to make it run. and its better than my current graphics card
Price : 50-150 dollars please
Answer #7
What kind of power supply do you have? Cause uber leet is correct, you may need a bigger power supply.
