Did you watch the VGA Support List for this mainboard?
ASRock > Products > 4CoreDual-SATA2 > VGA Support List
Notice, that some of the listed models are only working with the latest BIOS.

Thanks for reply, looking at the list of cards it looks like none are much of an improvement on the card i already have, am i right in thinking that the cards which i have listed would not work on my motherboard and only the ones listed will? I might have to save my pennys and get a higher spec computer lol.
Im a bit of a novice so thanks for the help.

Latest BIOS update was from 9/29/2009.
The 9800 GT is included in the list and should work properly.

If your board really is the Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2, then you will find the latest BIOS here:
ASRock > Products > Motherboard > 4CoreDual-SATA2 > Download
It is the 2.20 version.
Take the Windows flash version (second from the top of the list) and read the "How to update" by clicking the red cross.
