Im trying to upgrade my video on a dell dimension 3000 would anyone know if I need to be looking for AGP card or PCI Card? Any help would be appreciated.

PCI, the 3000 is a low-end model lacking PCI-e and AGP....

something like this:

the best pci cards you can get is a geforce 6200 or geforce fx 5700le

not sure if those would be a whole lot better than the Radeon 9250; Newegg has only 5200s and one 5500 in PCI, and a whole lot of MX4000s...... I would just grab the 9250 or whatever I could find cheapest, as PCI is going to be SLLLOOOOWWWW at best, not even sure if a 5700le on a PCI bus would be faster than the Extreme 2 onboard the 3000......

i would rather have a a graphics card that doesnt suck up ram and lots of cpu. you will get better frames with a phsyical card then any onboard

you can game on any pc as long as it can "run" it.

i had a field day with my ati 9100pro w/ut2003/4 so you could game obviously--just not very [H]ard as those with agp/pcie. But dont think for one second it's worth playing anything from 2006 genre.
