i really need to upgrade my pc hardware especially graphic card and ram to max performance supported but i have little knowledge about computer hardware so i decided to use a software called everest ultimate edition which gives detailed infos about everything installed from hardware to software. what i really want to know if graphic card pci-express is supported if not what the best agp 256/128m card would be best for my computer and for the ram what type/size is right. here's result found by everest.

hope this will help as i said i know nothing in hardware but need to know the graphic card and memory ram recommended upgrade
you have an agp 8x slot for video according to this from your post "Expansion Slots 2 PCI, 1 PCI-E x1, 1 AGP" & this link.
http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?model...=11&l3=229&l4=0 that link also says you can only go to 2gig max on ram.
Find someone with a very good AGP card who just upgraded and most likely won't have anywhere to use it on this new board(haven't had one on my last 8 builds) then talk him/her out of it cheap or trade. There are some good AGP's out there and that will leave your PCI's open for more goodies(insert imagination here)JMO
thanks but what good nvidia/ati agp x8 would be good enough i ve searched google and i found this card Powercolor Radeon 9600 Pro AGP 256MB i don't know if this card will be supported either but you can once again help that beginner
