Motherboard ddr2 capable?

On Chip NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
Share memory maximum update to 256MB(over spec to support DDR2 800 )

Thats what it says in the specifications of the Nvidia 7050 610i graphics card, though i use the 620i version, i can't find specs on those.

is this graphics card capable of rendering ddr2 graphics? I've tried 2 graphics cards and i get no signal on my vga.
It says over spec to support ddr2, but what does this mean?

I read a little more into it and it says it has DDR2 667

I need to find out what graphics card would be good for this motherboard, a list would be great, what kind of graphics card at that

I've tried 2:
PNY VCGGT2201XEB-S GeForce GT 220 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphics card, and the ATI Radeon™ HD 4650, both showing no display.

I've tried everything i could think of, disabling onboard graphics, clear CMOS, going into bios and trying to disable it, it didn't have the option. I tried with 2 different PSU's.

If you've tried GT 220 and HD 4650 then the motherboard RAM isn't an issue. They don't use any like the built in Nvidia 7050 video chip does.

Did you disable the Nvidia 7050 video in BIOS? Or was there a motherboard switch?

How about better details on what motherboard you have? All we know right now is that its a Nvidia 620i chipset with Nvidia 7050 video.

Thats all the info i got on my motherboard.
I tried going into bios to disable my onboard video, but it didnt have the option to in the integrated peripherals. Or in any option i could find, i reset cmos to see if that would work. I couldn't find a motherboard switch, i've been on this for few days, any more info needed i'd be gladly to share.

Look under Advanced Chipset Features in BIOS.

I've ventured in there before, and just made a double-check incase i missed something, but the only options i get there are the Init First Display, which i set to PCI Express, and the VGA share auto memory, i have it to auto. If i disable it i just choose the memory share size of the chipset, but i there isn't an option to disable the graphics. I tried disable the VGA share auto memory to test it out, i didn't make a difference

Nothing like this?

Nothin like that, if only. Wow, that would make this so much easier.
