    the big question is what are you going to be doing with it ...this is something that people seem to forget ...if your just surfing the web a P3 will di the biz but for gaming ...the x850 should be OK for a while to come ...but do you intend on overclocking ??????????? and as my fellow boardie nukem has asked what is your mobo and your psu and what cooling do you have just put all your components down case in all and tft and so on for the lads to have a fuller picture

    it's got an x300se in it already (another thread in computers) and it's a dell machine, so i'm guessing pci-e (haven't seen an agp version of x300se?), but yeah freer more important than what you've already posted is the motherboard (specifically if it's agp or pci-e) and the psu make/wattage
