Im thinking of buying a new video card/ graphics card. what is the newest card i can buy for this computer?
From the information available on the Dell website I would say you could fit any PCI-E you can afford. The thing to consider is the power output of the power supply, which isn't great and it is not easy to upgrade on dell machines. So I would suggest you spend no more than about 75 (GBP)

Hello.
I recommend you to buy the best you can afford, to be sure about compatibility you should look in your Motherboard manual
and look for what kind of graphics ports does it have and all the information related.
- PCI Express x16 ?
- PCI Express x1 ?
- AGP ?
- PCI ?
From top to bottom the performance decreases.
Also make sure your power supply can deliver the power the graphics card is going to need, you can see the power comsuption of the card in the manufacturer specification.
If you don't have the motherboard manual you can visit the manufacturer website and look for it.
About graphics cards manufacturers:
- Nvidea
- ATI
I have more experience with Nvidea, Geforce series are exellent.
I Hope this help you.

can you chk anything abt the lights on the monitor ? ie.. the small ones near the power switch .. is it green / orange ..
Also do u hear any beeps when you power on your computer ? I vaguely remember that in case you hear three beeps, it could be a video card issue.

It is possible you can etheir find an agp of the appropriate generation for your video card and attempt to solder it into the board. Even then you will need to re-program the bios to recognize it. Would be very difficult to do though as you would need to know how to code the eprom in machine language.

You should buy an AGP graphics card instead of a PCI X16.
Check the link and you will see the specification.

What you are looking for is an AGP 4x Low Profile video card, The GX260
is designed to be a business Small Form Factor computer so you are
really limited on what you can upgrade to.
What are you looking to do with the video card?
How much do you want to spend on the upgrade?
What Country are you shopping in?

Hi ursula_zajac,
First, you need to know the slot of the motherboard for your graphic card.
Previous slot for the motherboard and graphic card was AGP Slot but the newest is PCI-E (PCI Express).
After determining the slot of your motherboard, you may now buy any graphic card as long as it has the same slot with your motherboard.
Hope this helps you a lot.
Thank you for using FixYa!
