    I want to get a x700 pro. I am using the card to play BF2 and i heard it would run it. I just wanna make sure itll work on my computer. I also have a gig of ram which will help.

    Stephon --
    You don't want the X700.  It famously causes grief to Dimension users.  You can check this for yourself, read here well Dell officially discourages you from putting an X700 into your DImension.
    (AGP or PCI-e version) "Avoid the Radeon X700 at all cost. There are hundreds of post stating this video card will not work!!"
     
    If your budget is between $75 - $100, get a nVidia GeForce 6600 GT.
