I have a dell vostro 200, which came with the FoxConn G33M02 mobo, and a 300w PSU. I have upgraded the CPU to the Intel Wolfdale E8200, dual core @ 2.66 GHz. My ram is kinda screwy, for a total of 3gb I have 2x 512mb @ 333 MHz and 1x 2048mb @400 MHz. I plan to upgrade the ram to 4x1GB @ 800MHz once they are delivered. ram is ddr2. Right now upgrading the PSU is out of the question, I just need a video card to play some relatively basic games. Like Prime World from Nival, and once I buy it Guild Wars 2, also Diablo 3

im trying to spend less than 50 bucks on a card. id like a card thats better then the minimum reqts. playing at max is not necessary. i recently had an 8400gs which was ok for prime world but too slow for anything else. i considered the en 210, but ive seen it freeze up on diablo 3 as well.

i bought this, my concern is that it says its dual width. i have two white slots on my mobo, and one black that i know is for video cards, that black one has another small black slot thats abt 1/4 the size. can i use it? if i can not use it please point me to a compatible mobo for my vostro 200 that uses the same power supply and also has lga 775 socket with 4 ddr2 slots?

This is what a PCIE slot looks like you can push the GPU in with a little force.

i have only one of those, ang the tiny black port next to it as well. so i take it i cant use that card? wish i had noticed it was dual width first, just did a little more searching, i guess i need one of the (OEM) cards that nvidia offers.
