|
|
had a brief search through this forum, but just wanted some ideas on what graphics card to go for...
PC is a dell dimension 3000, 512MB RAM only has a PCI slot available for a graphics card...
I am currently using the standard one, while its not tooooo bad, the graphics could obviously be improved. The one i was looking at is below:

Dont really want to spend mega bucks on one, seems reasonably priced for what it is.... |
