You probably will have to buy a PCI Video Card because very rarely a
computer with an onboard video card will have a AGP slot.
I bought NVidia GeForceFX 5500 OC 256MB DDR AGP 8X/4X for my Dell
Dimension 8200 and it works great. There is a PCI version. It is more
expensive than the AGP one though. Both CompuSmart and FutureShop has them.
As long as it matches the following video card chipsets. I looked at
FutureShop and CompuSmart's site and they both have video cards that
exceeded 06's video requirements.
Video card with 32 MB or more memory and one of these chipsets is
required: ATI Radeon 7500 (64MB), Radeon 8500 or greater; NVIDIA GeForce
2 GTS or greater.
