WHERE IS THE BIOS?!
2007-03-16 07:42:17 · update #2
is there any kind of 3D Graphics Card that work for AGP or PCI?

You'll need a PCI (NOT PCI-E) Graphics card and have to go into the BIOS to disable the integrated graphics. This is an older PC and has neither AGP or PCI-E slots.

Graphics cards do not install into "FSB" slots...FSB stands for front side bus. It is basically a part of the motherboard. It sounds like maybe you have an older computer so you are likely looking for a graphics card that installs into an "AGP" slot. Just go to http://www.newegg.com/ and do a search for "AGP graphics card". You should get several results. Read some product reviews and pick out one that sounds good. Anything in the nVidia 6xxx or 7xxxx and higher or ATI 8xx or 1xxxx series will be more powerful than the cards you listed.
If you are talking about upgrading graphics in a laptop just forget it. You need a special kind of laptop from a company like Alienware to be able to upgrade the graphics.
Edit: ok I see your added details. You should have either an AGP or a PCI Express slot for installing a graphics card. My advice is to call Dell and tell them your model number and they can tell you what slot you have. Then just follow my above steps and do a search on newegg for a graphics card. Anything should be better than the integrated graphics that you currently have in your computer.
Hope this helps!

Hi. I think you either mean USB or AGP or PCI or PCIe. Tell us which one.
