April 9, 200619 yr No video card, therefore no Oblivion for me for a while. Not enough over time at work and too many bills to pay. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

April 30, 200619 yr Uninstall the oldgraphics drivers, install the new card, install the drivers for the new card. Than it should be up and working. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

April 30, 200619 yr No, it's impossible to remove, just right click and disable it. And you should be ready to put the new card in. And you already verified that your PC has an AGP slot, correct? Current 3DMark
April 30, 200619 yr Author No... ****. You need to tell me that before. You just said to get an AGP card.

April 30, 200619 yr I thought I told you to get a PCI card Ok heres waht you do, don't open the video card packaging yet open your comp and see if there is a brown AGP slot in there. If not, then exchange the card for a PCI version. Current 3DMark

April 30, 200619 yr Why would you buy a card that you have no idea that your computer could use? I'm not computer savvy myself and even I know that.
April 30, 200619 yr Author Get a geforce 4 mx from Wal-Mart. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy.

April 30, 200619 yr I already opened the box, Bok. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As long as you didn't rip up the box everything should go back in neatly. Anyway open your PC and check for a brown slot. Who made your PC btw? Current 3DMark
April 30, 200619 yr Yeah, and that comes in PCI and AGP. Before you get a card you need to first determine what slots your motherboard has. Also you will need to now the wattage of your PSU. If you get a card that exceeds the wattage you will have problems because there won't be enough juice to power your system.

April 30, 200619 yr You're screwed. My suggestion is to ditch Dell and get a cheap E Machine with a PCI E slot. They are easily upgradable and durable. Edited April 30, 200619 yr by Judge Hades
April 30, 200619 yr Author Well, Walmart only had AGP, so I didn't know any better.

April 30, 200619 yr I doubt pixie can get a new comp atm, all he wants is to play freelancer. Pixie, try exchanging the card for a recent PCI video card. The Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 PCI, or Radeon 9200 PCI should work perfectly in your Dell. I know it's a pain in the ass, but I've dealt with having to return parts too.

April 30, 200619 yr Dell motherboards are quirky. Such as a friend of mine got himself a brand new X1600 video card PCI-E for his Dell. Got a new PSU to handle it to, but the motherboard wouldn't take it. It had a PCI E slot, the right power requirements, but just wouldn't accept the card. So he had to take everything back and got a x800 instead which by some miracle worked on his Dell. Here is a few words of advice for upgrading. First, don't try to upgrade a Dell. Its more of a pain than it is worth. Just deal with the fact you made a bad purchase and move on. Secondly, get a computer that has room for upgrades. PCI E slot is required for new video cards. Lastly, know your system. Know the model number. Know its internal layout. Know what it can and cannot do. Without this knowledge you will always make poor purchasing decisions when it comes to your PC. Edited April 30, 200619 yr by Judge Hades

April 30, 200619 yr No they won't, they probably deal with that kind of returns all the time. Especially with all the lite computer users who shop there for parts. Current 3DMark
