what PCIe graphics card for Dell Dimension 4700?
My neighbor has a Dell Dimension 4700 (P4 3.2 Ghz 256Mb DDR2-400 SDRAM). His son has the new Star Wars game and is experiencing some freezes/slowdowns. He wants to buy an x16 PCIe card, but doesnt want to spend "big bucks" Any advice?

I have the ati x700 and that was only 200 and it has worked like a champ.

The 6600GT card is a great one for the price. $150 or so will get you a decent one.
Here is a great article that compares the pci-e 16x cards. http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...524/index.html |

You may want to recommend putting in more RAM too. 256 mb would not only slow down the game, but the system as a whole.

terrible ram!
Dude, I have a 733MHz IBM Laptop, and I have 376MB of RAM. That computer is worthless without RAM. Proabably the card is fine, the computer just needs RAM. Also, the x800 Pro is $200 and is a good card.
