Video cards

I want to get the ATI Radeon 9100 for my dell 2400 series computer.  I see that the ATI Radeon 9100 128MB is a very good video card, for a great price.  Has anyone had any bad experience with this card?  My first question is would the ATI Radeon 9100 128MB video card work on my Dell, and the second question is that would I have to buy a whole new motherboard so I could just put the video card on my computer?  If it helps I have the Integrated Intel 3D Extreme Graphics as my current video card.

    you want the pci version of this card. it will work in your system. it has been the most reccommended but now the hardest to find.

    You need a PCI videocard. The highest level is an nvidia 5600, might be rare. Google search found http://www.sudhian.com/showdocs.cfm?aid=445 a review of PCI cards, and many outlets to buy them.

    but the question is will the PCI version of the ATI Radeon 9100 give me the same results?  Will games accept it, such as Lord of the Rings:Return of the King, Halo those sort of games that need a very good graphics card?

    this was never stated in your original question but the answer is obviously no. there is no way a 9100 can compete with 9800's, 59xx's etc. agp cards will pretty much always be superior. the games should run, abeit on low settings with not nearly the same fps.

    Which is better, the NVIDIA GeForce 4 PCI or the ATI Radeon 9100 128MB PCI or the NVIDIA GeForce 5600 FX PCI?
