My motherboard is Asrock P24ME PCI Express 2.0 FSB1600 DDR2 1200 Dual Channel made. Would it be OK if I install a 1GB DDR5 Video Card? If it's not OK with DDR5 what video cards is compatible with my motherboard? I'm planning to buy a new video card please I need some advice. Thanks a lot...

With that specific motherboard it would be okay to buy any new PCI Express video card. It can take a 1 GB card, even a 2 GB card without any problem.

What is your budget? I can recommend you the fastest 1 GB video card for your budget.

Here are the fastest gaming graphics cards around $80.

$55 ATI Radeon HD 4650 1 GB - http://amzn.to/f6zklb

$88 ATI Radeon HD 5670 1 GB - http://amzn.to/eHrouU

Both are good and both will play any game well. The more expensive 5670 will just be able to play games at higher graphics settings.

What video card did you have before? I will tell you how it compared to the 2 above.
