im told i cant get one because i dont have a pci express x16 slot or something...|||For a new Graphics Card you must get a PCI-e x16 slot, go to your nearest computer shop and show them your pc, the empty slots below where your old card used to be are where the new one will go once they get the right connectors, from there well basically anything that fits your budget, (to the guy above: no point going AGP card, thats downgrading anyway)



Here's a nice link on best buy, you choose AGP or PCI-e and then they direct you to those compatible cards :)

IF you're serious about gaming go with an HD 4890 but ATI its a beast!|||I would suggest Invidia, it looks like you've got the old PCI slots so you might have to special order one as the computer companies are eradicating the old PCIs
