Will this radeon 9250 card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102527

in my crappy dell inspiron 2350 (I only have PCI slots and the bandwith i think is 32 bits

should work what video card is in it now, or are you running onboard video.

ive got onboard now

it will work but save yourself the money and get a 128 meg card . it should be a crime to sell a pci video card with 256 megs of memory on it . http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814102522 here is the same radeon 9250 but with 128 megs of memory instead of 256 . there is going to be almost zero performance difference in the two of them .

Isn't Inspiron a laptop? Or is it both lappy and desktop?

I think TheGleek is selling one of those Radeon 9250 PCI cards:

For what it's worth.

What are you wanting to do with the new card that you currently cannot do with the on-board video?

Seriously, a larger upgrade may be more worthwhile than adding more pieces that are limited by the motherboard.


P.S.: Are you certain that it isn't a Dimension 2350 with the Intel i845GL chipset?

Is there a chance that a new socket-478 motherboard based on the i915 chipset with a PCI-express X16 slot could replace your existing motherboard? There are many inexpensive PCI-Express X16 video cards available that perform much better than any PCI video card.
