X1300 PCI or better the X1300 1X PCI-Express slot card should work with your system.  Heard that the PCI 6200 does not play well or at all with your system.   No AGP slots on your system.  PCI and one 1X PCI-Express slot

Sorry, but the E310 features only pci slots or one pci-e x1 slot.  Your machine does not feature the needed agp or pci-e x16 slots for superior graphic cards.

 

Given the constraints of the E310, your choices in terms of power are:

 

X1300 pci-e x1

x1300 pci

 

FX5500 pci

FX5200 pci

 

Radeon 9250 (not recommended)

 

Good Luck

Dale.... Is it correct that the E310 will not work with the 6200 PCI slot  ?  Reason  ?  Work not well, or not at all  ? 

 

Thanks SR

Yes, the 6200 cards I have seen have all been 5volt signalling cards.  E310 and 3100 pci slots are version 2.3 that dropped support for 5volt signalling pci cards.  This effects more than just video cards.  Its any 5volt signalling pci card.

Thank you Dale  :smileywink:

Dimension E310

 

Actually I have no problem with the 9250 from ATi.  I don't recommend it now because the card is an older part that supports only dx8 features.  Instead, I would grudingly (only due to price) recommend the x1300 pci or pci-e x1.

 

Way back in the past like on Dimension 2100/2200 and maybe 2300 series, users were having a tough time getting that card to run in their machines.  So many forum regulars then tended to sway users away from the card.  And I think that has carried over until today.

 

I'm very glad the card works for you, and if a forum member wants to know how you installed it and got it to successfuly work in your E310, hopefully you'll be around answer inquiries.

 

Good Luck

DALE 6200 works fine with the e/310 i have had no problems from it in my system, plays games as well as can be expected for pci, wanted to clear this up

Interesting.

 

On your 6200, if you wouldn't mind looking,  does the card have only one rearward key?  Or is it universal?  On this board, forum members, including myself,  were recommending a specific 6200 card that was keyed 5volt only.  5volt pci cards are not supported by pci version 2.3.  And perhaps some version of the 6200 was universal.

 

What brand of 6200?

 

Thanks for the input.
