DJ_ShiSaS · Answer

well.. the system has as cpu with 100fsb and probaly 400mhz memory speed.. if you install an 'amazing' video card , the card wont work at full  perfomance cuz it wont receive the data fater enough so it would be a waste of money

The computer came with a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, I think thats a 32 mb card

ok that would be an upgrade then...

i am getting rid of my GeForce MX 420 64 MB card that came with my dimension 8250, i don't know what all you would need to put it onto your computer, but maybe we can work out a cheap deal for this one...

Yes. It's ok.

That card is about like a Geforce 2 (you're current card is about like a Geforce 1). It's extremly outdated. What are you trying to do with this computer? It may be time to replace the whole thing...

morbidman · Answer

lol, tigerwolf, I figured that much. That was also why I suggested such an inexpensive card.
