I want to know what Video card I can upgrade my computer with and what memory to use?

The system is an E Machines Pentium 4 3.2 ghz, 512 mb of ram with a Radeon x300 series video card.

Just want to be able to run games etc a bit faster with better graphics.|||ATI Radeon X300 is a PCI Express video card. The card height can be full-height or half-height.



You can use a PCI Express x16 (version 1 or higher) card. You will probably need to replace the power supply to run a better card.|||Your setup is a PCI-Express X16 slot X1. You can get almost any graphics card in the market today, though a recommendation of upgrading your Power Supply to at least a 450w. This will prevent computer freezes, game crashes, and Blue Screens of Death.



*Suggestion*

Since you are using 512mb of Ram, you should first, upgrade your ram. It is the cheapest upgrade out there and will benefit your loading time. I am assuming your E-machines uses either DDr2 or DDr ram

Next, would be a bigger PSU that will save some of your power bill. Higher end Power Supply Units actually use less energy for power consumption, unless you had a high end gaming system with SLI or Crossfire and multiple Hard Drives. Last, but not least, research your motherboard to see if its compatible to upgrade to at least a dual core CPU. This will benefit if you are looking at gaming. Just a suggestion before you look at GFX cards.
