    Please first explain what you're purchasing the new video card for (gaming, watching tv/movies/etc, etc). Also please advise as to how much you want/can afford to spend. This will help me recommend the best video card for your budget.

Unfortunately, your system's motherboard prevents installation of a PCI-E card. A good PCI bet would be the Radeon HD 5450 (but make sure you get the PCI version, not the PCI-E.) Keep in mind that this will not make your computer a gaming system by any means. Media will be played very well, and you should be able to run most games at low to medium settings.

A link to the graphics card

To get the most graphics performance out of your current system, you would have to purchase a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM (your current CPU and RAM would bottleneck a faster graphics card). So if you want to game at high settings I would actually recommend investing in a new computer.

Good luck.

Due to the limited amount of power produced by your power supply (250 watts) and the fact that you appear not to have PCI Express of AGP video card slots on your motherboard, it is not a good idea to upgrade your graphics card in a an attempt to achieve better performance.
However, if your onboard (built-in) video card has stopped functioning properly, I would recommend this card as a replacement: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130477
Or this one if you would like to connect to a monitor or especially a TV via HDMI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131325

Windows 7 does not require 4gb, that is the recommended level for windows 7 ultimate. Does this happen with any programmes or specific ones? also, do you have a seperate graphics card or is it built onto the motherboard?

OS not showing full RAM

Hi Shibbymusic, as with most Asus boards if not all! The MB
A8N-E does not show all of your 4GB memory. See this FAQ;
http://support.asus.com/faq/faq.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=A8N-E&os=17
Like you, I too have 4GB of memory.
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe w/4GB memory only see's 3GB
The bios displays 3GB during boot up & so does windows XP 32bit.
You might want to think about upgrading to 64bit os.
Updating your bios should help as well.
(See A8N-E Bios version 1010); http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=A8N-E&SLanguage=en-us

Thank you for using fixya!
