I'm trying to get a new video card for my Dell Dimension 2400, which has video (64mb Intel) pre-integrated into the motherboard.
Now, the kicker is that the Dimension 2400 only has PCI ports. Being not too computer-innards knowledgable, I bought a 256mb PCI-E card that didn't fit into my motherboard at all.
Are there any decent PCI video cards out there that can offer good performance in conjunction with plenty of RAM or is it time to get a new computer
Hi.
I have a Dell Dimension 2400 (service tag can be supplied on request
if needed) with an integrated Intel video chip. I want to be able to
play games like Sid Mier's Pirates!, or the new Civilization 4 that
will be out soon, or Dungeon Siege II, etc. Nothing like Doom or Halo
2 or other fancy and graphic-heavy games. Therefore, I want to buy a
video card for my computer, but something basic and not expensive.
What video card should I get? I really just want to be able to play
these games, even with all the fancier effects turned off, I don't
really mind those. Price is my main concern. So, my question therefore
is:
Is it possible to upgrade the video card in a Dell computer? My father in law has a Dell Dimension 2400 and he got several games for Christmas; IL-2, Pac Fighters, Lo-Mac and FS X. The video card is a 64 MB onboard Intell. Can we upgrade to a high end card?
Looks like my video card might be a 64 MB onboard Intell, which doesn't sound too cool (the 64mb bit)
oh fudge it, i think i just to assume its a 64 MB onboard Intell and see if any PC knowledgeable peeps want to give me a "best bet" on whether it's worth getting this game for my son
There is no money for a graphics card upgrade, i can't even go into that direction, can't do these kind of luxuries at the momemt!
