Dimension 3000 Graphic Update
Hi all, I have installed new graphics card ( Radeon 9200SE 128mb PCI ) and was surprised how easy it was. I turned off onboard graphic card, shut down computer and installed new card. Started computer and loaded drivers, the whole thing took about 20 minutes. I am still waiting for something to go wrong.

I have the same Dell 3000 and the same card. Can you give me step by step for installation?
I can not get mine to work. When I move the cable and turn the unit on, my screen goes blank.
Thanks!!!!

Thanks JohnDavey, I tried what you said and it works just fine. Thanks again!John Davey
I am trying to install a Sapphire Radeon 9250 256MB PCI card in my Dell Dimension 3000. Dell tech rep chat says to disable onboard video chipset by going into BIOS using F2 at startup and turning onboard video "OFF". That is not an option on my BIOS setup.
In your successful installation did you have to enter the BIOS? Do you know what your Video BIOS setting currently is?This is driving me nuts!!!!!!- jeferie43, No I did not change anything in BIOS. The way that I installed graphic card was: Start > Right click my computer > Properties > Hard wear > Device Manager > Display Adapters > Do not use this device > OK Apply OK > Turn off computer intall card > Turn on computer > Load drivers from CD > Set screen to 1024x768x75hertz or what ever you like. Also check that the card you have is compatible with your D3000. John.
