i have a geforce mx4000 pci. I'll let you know when I find it, but I don't know if you'd want to trade your 9600 for that. 10/9/2007 4:18:09 PM |

triple check to make sure you 100% have a pci slot and not a pci-Express slot(have someone do it if your nub)
if you do have just a pci slot and your trying to put video in it....buy a new mobo ty tyx5 10/10/2007 4:34:17 PM |

yeah dnl if it's truly a NEW computer, there's no way it DOESN'T have a pci-e slot
take a pic for us, or give us a model number.
we just tryn'a make sure you don't get the wrong thing, b. 10/10/2007 5:24:56 PM |

i installed windows for him, it's PCI not pci-e. he has a dimension 3000 w/ integrated video, and 3 normal pci slots open. he has a 512 of kingston value ram (pc3200/400mhz) atm, and needs another to get him up to a gb.

this is about the best PCI video card you can get - they don't even MAKE pci video cards anymore.
this being said, the only PCI video card i still have laying around is a 32mb geforce2. 10/12/2007 12:15:33 PM |

thats a pretty good card but newegg had some that were more expensive than that...i figured like going from pci to agp is an upgrade so some wolfwebber would want to trade
i heard a 256mb pci is slower than a 128mb agp...wish i had an agp slot 10/12/2007 10:25:21 PM |

sell that one to some rube, and get a better computer, or get a different motherboard - if you want, get one that uses pci-e, and ddr2 - i have two sticks of 533mhz 256mb ddr2 you could get...then just get any bargain pci-e video card and you have a $exas computer....spend maybe 180 on mobo and video. 10/12/2007 10:36:52 PM |

How do you have a new computer and it doesn't at least have an AGP slot? Is that like, new to you, but from 1999? 10/13/2007 12:41:50 PM |
drunknloaded Suspended 147487 Posts user info edit post |

beware: Dell machines can be difficult to upgrade due to them having proprietary stuff in weird places. If you get a new mobo, you may well end up needing a new power supply as well. Though power supplies are fairly cheap.
Just an FYI. 10/14/2007 12:38:48 PM |
