I own a Dell Dimension 3000 with (3) PCI Video Card slots as pictured: http://postimg.org/image/8peth6a0h/
I recently upgraded it to Windows 7 from XP and it runs great except Aero won't work so I want to upgrade the video card and got an EVGA video card that was advertised as PCI (with a different picture) but ended up being this AGP card when received: http://postimg.org/image/z7c0ju7p1/
The last thing I want to do is order another card that won't work for this older PC, and I believe it has only a 250 or 300 watt power supply so the card will need to be old enough to run on it but new enough to support Windows 7 Aero.
Lesson learned, now my question is can someone who deals with PC hardware more than I do link me to some PCI video cards on Amazon that will meet both of my requirements above?
Thanks in advance, and I can't afford a new PC at the moment or I would consider that of course.
