Need new/upgraded video card for my Dimension 4600

[TripleAAA]

I got a Geforce FX 5200 in there right now and its just barely cutting it when it comes to current games. I want to upgrade it though. Anyone know of a specific brand/model video card that I can pop in there quickly and easily?

Or know where I can ask about this? Thanks

Any AGP card will work fine. I would stick to something midrange as the power supply that the 4600 comes with is kinda weak imo. My 4600 mobo sucked so i replaced it with another AGP Micro-atx board and i'm running a 9600 Pro in that board. My recommendation would be either an AGP 6600 GT or look at the $200 AGP video card post. Anything past that may warrant an upgrade to a PCI-E board, although the dimension 4600 case isn't very friendly to non-dell mobo's. The case fan won't even plug into my new mobo.

I actually got fed up w/ my dimension and built a whole new system, but i doubt you'll need to if your comp is working fine so far

You might want to include what slot you are looking for

PCIe, AGP, or PCI

Clearly you are looking at an AGP or PCI slot...

You might also want to include price range/expect perfomance



Outside of that, assuming you have AGP slot

probably the nVidia 6600GT for <150, the ATi X800 GTO for <200/250 or like a nvidia 6800GT/ATi X800XL for <300
