Best graphics card for Dimension 2400?

[jlanz]

I have the Civ IV game and am looking for an upgraded Graphics card for my Dell Dimension 2400 (I am having problems with the movies, etc.)...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jeff

What is the old graphic card on dimension 2400?

Is there an AGP or PCI-e slot for graphic card?

Even if you upgrade your graphic card, it doesn't guarantee the movies on civ4 will run smooth. It is a flaw design on civ4 that maybe (maybe!) fixed by upcoming patch (in these few days). Oh, BTW, the patch mostly is for warlords expansion pack.

A search shows that it has Intel Extreme graphics 2 (really sucks) with no AGP slot so options are limited to overpriced PCI cards. See if updating your gfx drivers fixes anything.

And of course, you can (and should if you have bad graphics) turn off movies. Who needs movies anyway.
