Video card in Dimension 8200?

The nVidia GeForce2/FX card in my Dimension 8200 won't support some of the games I'd like to try.

What faster card will fit in the slots of the 8200?

Do a search for any AGP 4x card. Which Nvidia card do you have? Is it
the 4200? The problem is that many of the cards that Dell provided were
only 64M of RAM. Also many of the new games require very high video
rates. the new technology for video cards is PCI X16.

My invoice defines my card as "64mb nVidia GeForce2 MX Graphics card with TV-Out"

You can go with most any AGP card compatible with your 4x AGP slot. Your
system has a 250watt rated power supply. You should be able to find some
nice 128mb or perhaps even 256mb AGP 4x/8x cards out there without breaking
your wallet.

I bought NVidia GeForceFX 5500 OC 256MB DDR AGP 8X/4X and it works great.

Thanks, Dan

I bought an ATI 9550 with 256Meg of ram from Circuit City for $75.00
after rebate.

Check the weekly specials in your Sunday newspaper for speciaals.


The card works great in my 8200.
