Hi Everybody, I've just been given an emachine 3260. I upgraded the memory from 265mb to 1 gb and it made quite a difference running first XP and then Windows 7. I want to buy a PCI (not express) nvidea geforce 5400 to further boast performance Does anybody know whether this graphics card will work with this model? is there something I have to do in the BIOS to enable the card.

You have check the motherboard and the power supply of your computer. To be honest though based on your starting RAM of only 256MB, I think your computer is too old to upgrade to a reasonably powerful video card.
