You've made the Wipro rig sound like one of Blade's bloody conquests with the Stakes right through it's heart...:)
When they say your DDR and GDDR is the same it means you're using the onboard graphics/IGP.
Since you have a PCIe x1 slot try to download CPUz from CPUID dot com and paste the screens here using any pic hosting site's links.

We will be able to advise you further from there on.

You can buy a PCIe 1.0 x 16 compatible card and it will work fine on that board. You do not need to worry about the 'Stakes' that your present chipset has on it as they won't bother you.
The card you buy will need to be put into the PCIe 1.0 x 16 Slot that you have on the mobo. You will also need to change the display preferences in the BIOS before you insert the card and change it to PCIe first then the onboard IGP.

Choose a pic hosting site like photobucket or something like that. Upload a pic of your rig to that account, and then you can post the image url here.
