Graphics card for this computer?

[Ironhide]

I need a new graphics card for my oldish computer, I'm not looking for any hard core gaming on this, I just need a graphics card in there so it's not running on some integrated crap.

The specs of the desktop:

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott 90nm Technology)
RAM: 1 GB DDR Memory
Mobo: Dell Computer Corp. 0F4491 (Microprocessor)

Thanks.

Depends if your board has the PCI slot to accept the card.

I think the motherboard has PCI-e (whatever it's called) It's AGP I think? So it's pretty old...haha

I wouldn't put something really good in it because it couldn't handle it. But something just normal or maybe below normal will do perfectly.

Where is your graphics card at currently on your motherboard? That's where any new card will go, if it doesn't fit the slot it will not work. I'm pretty sure that now-a-days they are standard though and make sure you have a big enough power supply.

Monitor's connected to the motherboard video (there's no video card currently in it).

You're probably going to need a new board then.

Meh, not worth it then haha.

Thanks for the help man

Personally I would upgrade the whole machine.

My recommendation - don't even bother with a GPU unless your CPU is built at some point after the 70s, and that isn't the case here. Junk the machine.
