    you answered part of my question as you have a dell. what speed is the cpu, how much ram, how big is the hd. when you have more money than brains, rebuild your system with a clone case, psu & motherboard that your cpu can fit on. use rest of parts onto new system including a floppy drive if don't have 1 now.

    as your current motherboard doesn't have an agp slot & presuming no pci/e slot which looks different from both agp & pci than yes get that card. if have the money, get the stuff i posted before & the agp version of that video card & you'll be happier still than having the pci videocard. your the one who has to decide which way to go as i can only advise you & it is your wallet that is paying for this not mine.

    I'm just reading this late before hitting the sack but the question should be what model Dell do you have? It seems unusual for a Dell not to have an AGP slot especially since you have a P4, unless it has a built in Graphics card in the motherboard and even so, older MB’s still had an AGP slot available for future upgrades.

    So some questions might be:

    How old is your Dell?
    What model is it?
    Have you looked it up on Dell's website or called them first before making any purchase, asking for their recommendation, whether you purchase a graphics card from them or another source?
    If not, why not, what do you have to lose?

    So have I ddp, but a Dell? Again, questions asked and answered without knowing the actual model of his machine and I repeat again, what is there to lose by asking which model of Dell does he have? Most Dell P4's would have one, but Celeron's might not and his states a P4.
