What graphics cards would work for a Dell?

All the ones I've tried don't fit the motherboard. I know nVidia and AFI are supposed to be good. But I know nothing about these things.

What graphics cards would work for a Dell?
is it a Dell laptop?
Reply:You have to find the name and model of your motherboard EX. ASUS 1300 and find a video card that will work specifically for that motherboard. Another way to tell is if your dell machine supports certain types of graphics like agp and integrated or fx. find your technical specs and then go shop and see if it is compatible with your motherboard most likely any new card will work unless it is a high end video card developed for dual core computers.
Reply:Most brands of video cards come in different configurations. If your motherboard has a PCI port, then you should ask for a PCI video card. If your motherboard has a special port or AGP (accelerated graphics port), you should read in the manual (or ask Dell for the specs) what kind of accelerated graphics does your Motherboard supports ( they come in multiples of 4 ).
Reply:Depends on the motherboard. Is it AGP, PCI, or PCI express?
Reply:Dell usually makes pathetic computers with no graphic card upgrade capabilities except for PCI. There are still a few PCI video cards left around, but they will probably be totally obsolete in the not to distant future.


Go to Newegg.com to search for video cards with the PCI interface if that is all that you unfortunately have.


Remember to disable any integrated video in the Bios if you add a graphics card to it.
