PCI Problems - Graphics Cards!?

[PhoenixFlameX]

Hopefully someone can help me out here.

I bought a Dell Dimension 3000 the other day thinking it was a Dimension 4500. Basically, the PCI slots in the 3000 are 32 bit 5.0 volts and won't fit with any of the graphics cards I bought today (I went to a PC superstore twice today, and they gave me the wrong card me both times).

Can anyone suggest a Graphics card which will fit in my particular PCI slot? PCI express won't work, which rules out the Radeon X600 (which I bought today) among others.

Any info would be great.

It's called a standard PCI slot. I don't know what cards are out there, but you are VERY limited to your options just due to the speed limitations of PCI

from what i gather, the best pci card your lookijg at from nvidia (not sure what the ATI equivalent is) is the FX5700 le. you can find one here

Going pci extremely limits your options. Does the computer possibly have an agp slot?

your motherboard has an AGP slot you can get an AGP card ... now whats the budget and intented use?
