I work with a Dell GX100 with its integrated graphics and wish to upgrade with an add-on graphics card. It requires a PCI card. What would others recommend (preferrably from personal experience with this system) as an easy-to-install and setup 32-64 MB card with good 3D performance. I don't plan to spend more than about $100 and I don't expect top-notch performance (obviously). Thanks very much!

HMmmm.. I believe the GF4 MX420 PCI is probably the best you can hope for. Not great perf at all, but what do you do? Gaming and such?

Probably your best performance value is an old TNT2 PCI card. Anything faster is a waste, as PCI only has 1/16 the bandwidth of the latest AGP specification.
