Upgrade video on Insprion 530s
Hi,
A friend of mine has a Dell Inspiron 530s desktop. He might want to upgrade to a new video card so as to get better performance when playing games.
I looked in the user manual, and it appears that it has a PCI Express x16 slot. I assume that this is where he would install a new video card. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a video card that he could add to this PC to give him better gaming performance.
His processor is a E5200 Pentium Dual Core; 2.5 GHz CPU; 800 MHz bus and he has 4 GB RAM.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

For the Inspiron 530s, you need a low profile, PCI x16 Express card, like THIS

Sapphire had an excellent 4650-based card (which I am using in a Slim).
