hey guys just thought i would just input this nuget of info

Bus Bandwidths MB/sec

PCI 133MB/sec

AGP 266MB/sec
AGP 2x 533MB/sec
AGP 4x 1066MB/sec
AGP 8x 2133MB/sec

PCI-e 1x 500MB/sec
PCI-e 2x 1000MB/sec
PCI-e 4x 2000MB/sec
PCI-e 8x 4000MB/sec
PCI-e 16x 8000MB/sec

and yes i have heard from somewere that some video cards barely use up any of the bandwidth.

Does anyone know if the dimension 3000 has an open PCI-express slot?

EDIT: Nevermind, I do not think it does..

using the PCI-express and a budget of $80 then you looking at something like a 7300GT, decent enough card, nothing special for games but will run everything you need to more than capably

if you add another $20 then you could move up to a 7600GS which would be a nicer option but otherwise i think you'll be happy with the 7300GT

He can get 7600GS for $66 after rebate

A 7600 isn't a bad idea for what you want.
