Dell Dimension 3000 compatible graphics cards

[Jem_44]

Got a new monitor with 1920x1080 res and need to find a compatible graphics card for my Dell Dimension 3000 which has the integrated graphics card and 1280x1024 res max. Not sure but I think it is PCI only, not PCIe. Thanks for any suggestions.

unfortunatly all you have is PCI so your choices are limited...to be honest I wouldnt put any more money into this old machine but its your choice here is a decent PCI card...dont expect to game or anything its just for getting your max resolution on your screen

Thanks for the help. This should work fine as I am just using it for CAD work and casual internet stuff. I would love to upgrade my whole computer but can't afford the change just now. That will be another thread

Thanks again

Up and running. And just like you said, it works great but maybe not so great for gaming. I get start to get some lagging, etc. when I open a bunch of video clips. But I'm probably getting the most I could out of this old Dell 3000.

Thanks for the help. Great forum.
