Ew.... AGP sucks. Period.

That said, Stardock min-specs are usually somewhat forgiving. You won't be able to max out the settings, but it should run.

Just make sure you have a decent enough CPU. Thats something that strategy games often need more than graphics, especially in large single player games. If you plan on doing multiplayer, the CPU won't need to be quite as good since it will not have to run the AI controlling enemy groups.

X1600 would be an upgrade...probably enough as a stopgap to upgrading more.

I use an X850 XT which works fine, but it was at the top of it's generation. The X1600 was a midrange card. I probably won't get a newer card until I find something that doesn't work at all...I can still generally max out or put high settings on games. But i play at 1280x1024.

For $35 it can't hurt.

Well, AGP is kind of defunct these days.  One thing to be absolutley sure of is what sort of AGP slot you've got.  Is it a 4x or 8x type.  Most modern AGP cards require an 8x slot and despite a lot of them having "4x/8x" written on the packaging and the specs alegedly being backwards compatible they have a massive shit fit when they actually meet a 4x slot.

Moving on, you say "Dell video slot"???  Now that's something I've never heard of personally but considering you have PCIe x1's I wouldn't be surprised if this is a PCIe x16.  It might be a good idea to punch the model number in to google and see what (if any) reviews of it exist as they'll refer to components in standard terms; rather than marketting ones.

If none exist, be cheeky.  Phone Dell sales and tell them you want to upgrade your machine (or if it's a current model play with the website) and if it starts offering you PCIe x16 cards as options... you're a winrar as I believe the meme goes.

And no, I've yet to see a full on GFx card use a x1 slot, I'm sure they exist in some fashion somewhere but never seen them; I have seen capture cards (Hauppage HVR's and such) make use of them though.

Well, this here is what you call irony.  It turns out I do have a PCIe x16 slot   So, I'll try to sell this AGP card on Ebay, and I'll go to Best Buy and get a new PCIe card this afternoon.

I feel like a royal idiot

So, with that in mind, what card would you recommend? I don't have a huge price range; the max is probably around 110 dollars, and my power supply is only 300W.

thats not good......300 watts is kind of low and ur graphics card is gonna burn out.... you should have atleast 500 watts

Well, I don't have a ton of stuff in my computer, so I think it should be fine.  But if the power supply starts heating up too much, I'll get a new power supply.

Don't worry about it, as I said google and you'll get puka terms not the ones marketting drones use to try and flog you extras.

I'll take my bows and be on my way
