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.

I may have one at work that you can have. I'll check if it is keyed right for that slot and let you know.

I would suggest you call up a PC repair shop, I'm sure they may even give you an AGP card....
