Please check these desktop video cards out? Which one would be Good?

I found these video cards in ebay and they are cheaper than a thought, they are 512mb video cards and they are good brands like Nvidia and ATI.



I know they probably are not the latest video cards out there but they seem that can do the work.

I have a Dell Gx270 Desktop with 2.6Ghz and 512mb ram, and i wanted to upgrade the 64mb video card to a 256mb or 512mb.



Will any of these video cards be Good Please Check them out not just Skim through all.

Please Let me know which would be Good.

Your dell gx 270 has an AGP adapter (for an external graphics card) but most likely, you are currently using the integrated graphics on the motherboard. You cannot simply install any AGP card in the machine. It is best to look on the dell support site what kind of agp card (if any) you can install. This depends on the particular type (small for factor, etc). Some graphics cards need additional power, and the gx 270 (which is made for business use) does not have a powerful power supply. Do you need a low profile agp graphics card?



So do the research on the dell site (enter your dell express code) to see what kinds of cards you are able to install. Then, look on the PC Magazine or PC World website (or cnet) to see if any of the cards you saw on ebay got a good review.



Or consider buying a new card that fits your machine. AGP cards are quite inexpensive these days since most of the PCs went to PCI-Express some years ago.
