    Ok so sadly I have a Dell Dimension 3100. I have installed a sound card and a Radeon 9250.

    I am wanting to upgrade the video card to something better....sadly the motherboard has nothing but PCI slots!! Anyways what would be a better card, and have Shader 2.0 that will out perform the Radeon 9250?

    Thanks

    Hello youre limited as to what graphics chipset you can get in a PCI slot im from the uk the best ive seen is is on ebay 8400GS 512 DDR still a bit on the low side but better than what you got
    PNY NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS Graphics Card 512MB PCI VGA/D on eBay (end time 28-Aug-09 16:13:58 BST) Your Radeon 9250 is only capable of playing directx 8.1 and has 36 million transistors, texture fill rate is 960 MTexels
    8400 gs direct x 10, 210 million transistors,texture fill rate is 3600 Mtexels so a bit of an improvment
