Default Cpu hardware recommendations

Well I ve been thinking about about upgrading my cpu for a while now and now that I know i have pci not pci-e but pci slots... but what is the best "pci" grx card out there that my dell can handle btw I can run some high end games like IL2 and RO but I can barely run some or any so I would like the most optimum card my dell can handle so whats out there?

hmm lol PCI gpu's are hard to find these days.. as far as nvidia goes, i dont think ive seen anything newer then the low end of the 6 series cards made for PCI, and a low end 6 series (i think the 6200 is available for PCI) probably wouldnt handle much at all.. i doubt it would handle RO decently at anything over 640x480) and since the 6200 is a low end card it usually only has passive cooling which is junk if youre going to game with it, especially inside a dell that probably doesnt really have great airflow

you dont even have AGP? must be a really old motherboard if it doesnt have an AGP slot for a GPU as AGP is even outdated today, My old pc which is probably about 8 years old had AGP 4x (tho the difference between 4x and 8x isnt noticable from everything ive read and its usually idiots that say its twice as slow lol)

heh i had AGP 4x & a 6600gt 128mb card and it was barely playable going thru HL2 on directx 7 mode with all low settings and resolution

what model is your dell so i can check out the specs for it?
