I bought a Dell some years ago and it came with the processor "Intel pentium 4 CPU 1.60 GHz" and it worked really well until I hit the games. What is a decent graphic card I can use to play games? My price range is $200.00 max, but I really do want to know if there is a decent one for cheaper. Thanks.

$200 is way too much to invest in a video card for that old machine, especially if it only has a 1.6GHz P4. How much RAM do you have? Does your motherboard have an AGP slot or just standard PCI? If you don't know, post the exact model of your Dell.

Noobincpu Here's a nice P4 from newegg ' http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... it is a 478 pin. hope this helps. Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 3 Gigs Ram Windows Vista Home Premium 640 Gig HD Quad Core All The Way !! If It Isn't Broken Don't Fix It. !!!!

No amount of graphics card is going to help you with gaming on that pc unless you plan on play 4 year old games or older, because you can forget about playing newer games on that computer decently with the specs you have. Iron Sharpens Iron.

wgaxp, I highly doubt that a 3GHz Prescott would work in Noobincpu's machine. -A machine running a 1.6GHz P4 would probably only support 400MHz FSB (maybe 533 FSB) CPUs, but not 800MHz FSB. -The motherboard probably wouldn't be able to supply a Prescott CPU with enough amperage. Only the newest S478 boards were Prescott-ready.

jackbomb....it was just a suggestion...i had a old p4 478 pin a while back and the 478 ran good and i almost purchased a p4 prescott....but a lot of ppl told me to not purchase it because they said it takes a lot of cooling & fans to keep the temp of the prescott down.
