Hiya all,
Im in need of some assistance. I have to upgrade an old computer (well its a Dimention 3000) with a new graphics card (it has a rubbish built in one). Only problem is that it only has PCI (doesnt have PCI-e) slots. Most places are only really advertising newer cards that wont fit on the motherboard.

What is the best graphics card i can get to go in a PCI slot on this computer?

Also it has a Celeron D 2.4ghz proccessor in it. ive found out that it will fit a Intel P4 3.2 GHz 800MHz 478pin 512K L2 Northwood CPU OEM, can the PC actually have this with its current motherboard? If so what diffrences will there be?

Thanks for your help.
 
That Dell only has 3 PCI slots. Changing the processor is a iffy thing for Dells. You could plan on saving up and buy another one in the future.
 
No agp slots just three PCI unfortunatly.

Peterhuang913 - what do you mean iffy?

Also at the price's im looking at i can upgrade it to a P4 3.2 2 gig of ram and a 256 mg card which is alright for what it will be doing
