You just have to find out if its a PCI, AGP or PCI-E slot graphics card, go to the store, buy one that matches your slot type. If your graphics card is intergrated you can download a program called Everest home edition and find out what slot it is.

I use DDR memory on my Asus Motherboard and i want to upgrade the graphics card does it have to be DDR too or can i use any AGP graphics card with my motherboard?

You can use AGP graphics card with any type of memory DDR. DDR2, DDR3. Graphics card memory type does not have any relation with memory type used on your PC's motherboard. - Neeraj Sharma I believe this answer is incorrect. I have found that some motherboards have onboard graphics which are connected to the pci slots. This creates a connection with a PCI graphics card, and the differences in RAM type will indeed cause problems for the driver and the OS. Bill Newman
