I have a GeForce4 MX 440 PCI 64MB card installed in my IBM Netvista S42.
No complaints whatever. It runs all the games I like to play with graphics
and framerates that are adequate for the few times I do some gaming.

But, I am curious as to whether there is any room for upgrading to a better
video card.
Anyone have any suggestions? Keep in mind it's for a PCI slot.

Thanks.

If you look at http://snipurl.com/8egq , you will see that the best nVidia
PCI cards for gaming are the 128MB and 256MB FX5200. If your motherboard
does not have an AGP port, then your system probably isn't packing much
punch. A 256MB card may well be overkill, as no game that your system could
handle would ever use it. My advice would be to save $20 to $30 and get the
128MB version.

It is PCI, not PCI-Express. I've got one. It's a significant
improvement over the FX5200, which I had before.
