Just put my 5700le in my dim3000 and i like it, i can play aoe3 demo on low/med settings without lag and battlefield 1492 demo on high with no lag. I got a 2088 on 3dmark03.
if you can find a pci fx5600 get it, its the best pci graphics card, I would say 5700le is the second best.
i know which one i want i am just making sure that my pc will run it ect cause with all this intergrated stuff i didnt want to spend like 200 pound when it wouldnt work ??????? so i take it, it will work aslong as i disable my old integrated one ?

Also, the GeForce FX 5200 PCI card is a good "low-cost" choice.
Yes, you do need to disable the Intel integrated graphics if you are going to use a PCI graphics card.
