AND he's basically running on 192MB, since his video is grabbing up 64 of his 256.


Not quite.

I had the same graphics on my old computer, the computer had 248MB of RAM. It depends on how DELL sets up the graphics chipset.
 
He's not going to be able to upgrade his motherboard enless he gets a new case also. I would just go ahead and get the PCI card.
 
Guys, he just wants a little help, he does not want to go and build a whole new computer.

Waleed, my uncle has that same computer, and I have been working on it for a while now.

I would suggest you grab one more stick of 256mb memory, and go ahead and grab that 5500 PCI video card.

Stick this in there:

Along with this: (Preferably)

Or this: (if the other one costs too much)

With this stuff, you will actually be able to run newer games at the lowest settings, and pre 2004-ish games and mid to high settings.
 
Alrightry then. A new case and mobo wouldn't cost much more than you are asking him to spend and he already has the video card. But that's just me.......Dell.....I should have known!!!
 
No, you are wrong, because then he would just be paying money for outdated technology. He has an AGP video card.

What he has is just fine, and even if he did get a new Mobo, he may have to get new RAM, a different proccessor, a whole new computer.

Really, 256mb of RAM is 25 bucks, and the 6200 is 65. 90 bucks, and he wont have a half bad computer for basic gaming and productivity.
 
Thanks for all your help i am going to get that $25 ram and a new PCI video card,, it makes more sence buying a PCI and memory than get a whole new MOBO, its too complicated, thank you so much

will post my results..:)
 
WOW you guys really got into this one HAHA.. You all have good points for sure. He could get a mobo/CPU combo on Craigs list for cheep. But wasn't that video a trip some idiot did that just to screw with people im sure.
