Alright so i got this old dell the other day and i opened it up and found it had a video card in it since the mobo didnt have a VGA port on it. All i know is that its a AGP card and its not really that good since of a heatsink not a fan. How can i tell wat kind it is and how can i overclock it? Anyone know of any programs online i could download?

Yep, thats your card. It sure is old... you may be able to play some older games but that card is weak nowadays. I don't think that overclocking it would make much of a difference.

This is indeed true. It was new in about...winter '98/spring '99, IIRC.

You can probably get a better one for cheap. But if you have money on you, I'd recommend a full build.

I've run War3 on a card like that....ahh, good times setting up LANs.
That card would be fine in a machine used for email/browsing/photoshop or a server... pretty much anything but a game box. No fan to die, and nvidia still supports it in the forceware drivers.
