Installing Radeon 9800 Pro in Dimension 5150
I have a Dimension 5150 with 3.0 Intel Pentium 4, 1 Gb of RAM, and the Intel video graphics. I have a Radeon 9800 Pro from a now-deceased Dim 8300 and want to install it in the Dim 5150. I have two questions:
1. Is the 9800 Pro compatible with the Dim 5150? (I'm assuming it is) and
2. Is there a how-to somewhere on how to install it ?
Thanks.

I'm assuming the 9800 Pro is AGP, so it's not compatible. It's also prehistoric and presumably much slower than a budget 6450 would be.

There are no PCI -E versions of the 9800 Pro which means its AGP and is not compatible at all. AGP is on top and PCI-E is below.

rdunnill & SpeedStep:
Many thanks for your responses. It is an AGP card and you've saved me a lot of time and effort.
