video card help

Yes an Nvidia card will work. But you will have to verify what socket your motherboard supports. It will either be AGP or PCI Express (PCIe)

I'm going to assume it's a AGP slot. If it is you will have to find out if it's 2X, 4X or 8X Odds are it's 8X. Then just get a new 8X AGP graphics card

Yes that is an older dell,and it's only agp video,good luck finding a new card,very hard to find.But you could find a nice used agp vid card,for cheap.

You can always check ebay I just got a card for my laptop at a very good price.

So looking like I have a AGP video card, and now seeing my PCI slots can't do video and isn't the same as a PCI-E slot which the NVIDIA video card seems to be.

So my only option will be a AGP video card.

Thanks all.

note on the game "video cards that do not have hardware shader support such as the GeForce 4 MX or the Intel Extreme Graphics are not supported"

How does one tell if a card has shader support, does this one? http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX10384(ME).aspx

That one would work fine Mark, rollercoaster tycoon is over a decade old so any new video card out there will work for ya.

check out www.ncix.com they have some agp cards still, and i seem to remember buying one for a work computer that caught fire i think it was $64 but this computer i am on right now (out of town for weekend) wont open the site for an unknown reason.

I had to buy an AGP card last week for one of my older Dell's, I got one from Staples cuz I was lazy and in a hurry. You would be better off at Memory Express or Tiger Direct.
Now if I can find some 128 ram sticks, I'm trying to get myreef working on a 14 year old Dell.
