Hi,

yes, it is a PCI card (I read the FAQ first :-)). It is actually GeForce FX5200, but with 256 MB (instead of typical 128MB). My concer basically is, that the Dimension 2300 is too weak of a system to support this card and that the card would over perform the system and will not be used if full capacity (something like buying superfast processor but having an old slow motherboard). Do you know what I mean? I have 1,8GHz Celeron and 512 MB SDRAM. The rest is pretty much an original Dimension 2300 with a few external and internal devices that I bought additionally (2nd hard drive, CD burner, sound card, scanner etc). So what do you think? Would the video card of this parameters be a good improvement or would it be too much of an improvement? BTW, I am upgrading the video card for gaming purposes. Thanks. Pavol

However! I would SERIOUSLY recommend you get the 128MB version instead. The thing is, with the 256MB version, you get more, but MUCH slower memory. In the 128MB version, the memory is somewhat faster, and the 128MB is rarely utilized anyways. So save the $20-$50 extra it is for the 256MB version, buy the 128MB version, and you will be much happier.
