I have a Dell 3.06 with a Radeon 9600 256mg AGP video card. I am thinking of buying a Geforce FX5500 AGP with 256mgs. Would this be worth it or am I just wasting my money? Any thoughts would be appretiated.

I have the FX550AGP card. It works resaonably well but updating the drivers can be a problem. I tried the newest ones and then read that they were 'buggy' and they are. I then tried 8x series drivers and still had bad graphics. Now I am using 4x series that I had to search the web for and the performance is still substandard. When switching to the VC panel is takes a few seconds to load the first time and after that is ok. I am planning to buy a different card and therefore reading the hardware forum to see what cards are best.Hope this helps someRegardsRick

Rick, Thanks for the reply. I think I am just going to stick with my Radeon until I can update my MB to a PCI Express version.Pat

You might have a hard time upgrading the mobo on a Dell.I don't think they use standard ATX form factor, pretty much requiring you to either send it back to Dell for 'upgrading' ($$$$$$) or buying a new PC!Anyone know if this is still true with Dell?Glenn

Anyone know if this is still true with Dell?Sadly it's true.
