Selecting a new Video CardFollow

So i am planning on buying a much better video card (currently have a GeForce 7600).

I am looking to hopefully pickup a GeForce 9600 or better, but what i am confused with is how can I tell it will be compatible for my setup (motherboard and what-have-you) other than actually buying it and trying to install?

Is there something I can look at to make sure I will be able to use the product I order before I am actually billed and receive it?


I am at work, but off the top of my head my PC specs are (if it matters)

Intel 3.2Ghz Processor
3gb RAM


I'll update this when I get home.

Or you can look into your 7600 card and see if it's AGP or PCI express.
