Thankyou Larry Normally if you ask for a recommendation but say you're not a gamer, I would say don't upgrade; it won't do much good. But in this case upgrading to any of the last generation AGP cards will also give you DVI support and the ability to use newer widescreen panels with odd resolutions. Also video acceleration can help since your CPU is fairly weak P4. Anything from the Geforce 6/7 AGP era will work fine. Even a used card. But a more commonly available ATI card (HD 4650) is easier to find (even retail), more advanced, runs cool/quiet and has support for video acceleration. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150433 You can find other brands of this same model in BestBuy, Fry's, etc. NVIDIA stopped developing AGP boards after the 7600/7900GS. |

Forget upgrading as you won't see any benefit from it. Your computer is now 8 years old, any money you invest is just a waste. You can get much faster and newer computers on ebay for very little money. Benjamin |

Thanks Larry You should have skipped Vista, 7 runs great. I'll 2nd that, running Win 7 Pro on my XPS9000 since it was delivered 12/31/09! It's been quite stable for me & nowhere the PITA that Vista was in the few days I diddled with it 3 years ago. |
