The dimension 4300 does not have an AGP slot, only PCI.  Except for a few "workstation" cards (ATI FireMV, Nvidia Quadro4), the most power cards you could use in that PC are an nvidia-based GeForce FX 5700LE, an ATI Radeon-based 9250, or an nvidia-based GeForce FX 5500.

Can I just ask why do you need more than 256MB or even 128MB memory in your graphics card? Trust me, if you're looking for better performance in video games or graphical programs this is not the solution as 128MB - 256MB is perfectly well for high details video games.\n\nAnyway, I do not think it can be done. If that's what your motherboard accepts that that's it.

For AGP your best bet is a Radeon 6800 graphics card. Buy a GT if you can afford it. You have choices of 128mb or 256mb. Choose what you can afford but I believe a 128mb GT is better than a standard 256mb.\n\nThere are websites that will do detailed comparisons giving you statistics from playing the latest games on them. Google "graphics comparison statistics" and see what you find.\n\nAs for your other PC I wouldn't bother spending any money upgrading it, if all you do is Internet and photo editing then your current graphics will be fine and who needs great sound on a PC?

I honestly doubt your graphics card is anywhere near what you need.  As for the processor...maybe, but good luck.  If you post what type of motherboard you have specifically I (or many others) can help with the graphics card.

you need to purchase a 128MB video card...like the GeForce 5200 or 5500\n\ngo to tigerdirect.com they have plenty.\n\nyou will need an open AGP or PCI slot.....

i dont think there is anyway to increase your video memory without changing your video card and with your current mother board i dont think you can keep a video card of higher memory say a  128mb geforce 6600

You should be able to access the card properties through control panel.  There you should be given a choice of acceleration methods.  If this does not have hardware acceleration listed as an option, it is probably either a low end 3d or 2d card.  Most 3d cards have an embedded heat sink that you can see when you look at it.  For ease of explaining, please visit my site below, and go to the computer talk section where you can see what a typical 3d card looks like.  If this is an older card, your game probably won't play right anyway.  Most games now require anywhere from 16-64 megabyte video, and a few newer ones as much as 128 megabyte.  For the best prices should you decide to replace the card please visit http://www.geeks.com and http://www.pricewatch.com  Both are good sources. \nYou can also go to Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Information to see what is listed as the manufacture and other info on your video card.  Hope this helps.

If your Dell has a slot for a graphics card, then you ought to be able to replace this card with a larger one, as long as you have the ram.

I can't tell you what you have but I can tell you how to find out.\n1.) Right Click your desktop and choose properties from the context menu.  \n2.) On the Display Properties Menu click the settings tab.\n3.) Below the picture of the monitor it will say something like MAG 986 on Geforce 6600 or something to that effect.\n\nThe latter half of the statment is your Video card.\n\nNvidia cards go to http://www.nvidia.com\nATI cards go to http://www.ati.com

Your Chip set is NVidia nForce 410 and  Video Output Interface PCI Express, it depends on who much you want to spend on a Graphics Card, i would suggest GeForce 7 series

A little more information would be nice.  if you want to upgrade to a better graphics card.  Open you case and look at your mother board.\n\nYou can determine what type of graphics card your motherboard needs in several ways (beginning with the easiest method):\n\nBy checking your owner's manual \nBy opening your computer's case and visually inspecting the graphics slot \n\nVisually inspecting your graphics slot. Though I recommend consulting your owner's manual or computer manufacturer to determine which card your system requires, it is possible to open your computer's case and visually inspect the graphics slot on your motherboard to determine which type you have. \n\nThere are two ways to determine whether you have an AGP or PCIe slot by visual inspection:\n\nAGP slots are farther away from the back edge of the motherboard — typically about 2.5 inches (BROWN IN COLOR). \n\nThe other slots on the graphics card are conventional PCI slots, which are typically all the same size. (WHITE IN COLOR).\n\nThey have not made 3 meg graphics cards in years.  \n\nNormally they are 32 Meg. 64 meg, 128 and so on a 128 meg graphics card would be the best.\n\nIt depends on your operating system.  How much Ram you have?\nSpeed of your mother board.  How old you system is?

It depends on what you will use it for. Games, business, etc. It also depends on on your motherboard. Does it have PCI, AGP, PCI-Express. If it has PCI-Express, get a video card for that particular slot. Me personally, I stick with NVidia. You can't go wrong with either a NVidia or ATI card. As for the best and cheapest, start buying Maximum PC. They do Vs. features which will help with taking the guesswork out of deciding which video card is best for you. Good luck!

No such thing as too much, man. Your computer is perfect for that kind f gaming. The 7900 GT might not be as good as your current configuration.

you'll need to buy a video card, right now you have on-board graphics...  go with a ATI or N-VIDIA card

PNY Verto GeForce 6200 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8x/4x / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card and  Diamond Radeon X1300 / 256MB DDR2 / AGP 8x/4x / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card\nbut just buy a cheap pc with pci e

Dimension 2400 and Dimension 4600 Motherboards are both of the Micro-ATX format, so the answer is yes.\n\nI assume that you can get a Dimension 4600 for free or for a very small sum of money.\n\nIf that's not the case, then don't bother with a Dell motherboard, just go into some shop and ask for a Micro ATX Socket 478 Motherboard.\n\nSee the following link for some references and prices:\nhttp://www.pricerunner.co.uk/computing/components/motherboards/browse?sort=5&saved_products=0&search=&price_min=&price_max=&a_792=Micro+ATX&a_4443=&a_789=Intel+Pentium+4%2FCeleron&a_4261=&a_791=&a_793=Socket+478&a_795=&a_2928=&a_809=&a_790=&a_810=&a_811=&a_812=&a_2925=&a_2926=&a_2927=&a_799=&autofilter=on
