Dell Dimension 2400 (old) PCI slot?

[FatManSam]

I found an old dell dimension 2400 that the parents used to use and I wanted to put ubuntu on it for my sister so she can basically have a machine to do facebook on and whatever else teenage girls use...dare I ask...

According to this: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/de...tium/4507-3118_7-30824846.html?tag=rightspecs (specs)

They say theres no way to upgrade the graphics because it lacks an AGP slot. But there is a PCI slot thats spare, so are they wrong? Surely I can just pop in a cheap graphics card and away we go?

Cheers everyone

The onboard graphics should be enough unless there are no drivers for ubuntu for it. But yes, you can add a pci video card but as I said unless she plans on doing any light gaming then the onboard will be sufficient.
