Hi !

I just made a post about retsoring RAID0 to my Dell Dimension 9100 -- this post is about the video card. It's an ATI Radeon X600, which I think is not good enough for SL.

Can anyone recommend a better card which would definitely work in my 9100?

Current specs ...

BIOS: Dell A01 05/25/2005
OS: Windows XP Pro SP 3
Main circuit board: Dell 0X8582
Processor: 3.20 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
Video card: ATI Radeon X600 256 Mb HyperMemory
Memory: 1 Gb (upgrading this week to 4 Gb)

Thanks for any help or comments :-)

It appears to have a PCI-E.

I suggest to get a 2nd hand Nvidia 8xxx like a 8600GT (8800 is overkill). It will make a difference like night and day for SL on your machine.
