    Can anyone help me identifying what graphics card i need for a Dell Dimension 3100C

    The onboard card seems to be damaged as when the machine boots it simply displays characters all over the screen and goes no further.

    The MOBO has 2 free PCI slots and i believe according to the manual it has a PCI Express slot. Although i have read from some sites that it doesnt support PCI Express cards

    it may need a low profilg gfc card if its one of them low desktop models. They are hard to come by and harder to get an up to date card in.

    If PCIe is not supported you may be able to get a gforce card in just standard PCI, that should do the trick.

    I did a quick search and found this and its not a bad price either.

    Thanks for that.

    If the board supports PCIe can you recommend a low cost card.

    Very hard indeed. Was looking for one recently. Couldn't get one anywhere.
