upgrading videocard

[Taylor1]

i have this older dell, the really skinny one, i know it has a pci-e x16, but since its a smaller case, it cant fit the bigger ones obviously. can anyone give me a link to a good one that fit and thats somewhat cheap?

well.. since you didn't exactly give us any info on what you actually need I might aswell say take a 8800GTS.
For someone cheap means less than $100, for some it means less than $1000.

As for the size, find out which video card you want and then find out the size. Then just measure your case and see if it will fit.

its a dell dimension 2400C but the ones recommended by dell look really crappy

 

[mammikoura]

so it looks something like this?

in that case you might need to get a low profile video card.
But as I said the only way to be sure if a normal vid card will fit in is to measure the space that you have available. Then there is also the option of getting a new case too.

8600gt mite be thhe most u can go.

Maybe if you leave the case open forever then maybe it will fit.

Your pretty limited when it comes to low profile cards, but this one is ok...

That almost looks exactly like my 7300GS also by PNY.

Buy a new case for $30 than you can git something bigger probably.
