I am looking to upgrade the video card in my Dell Optiplex GX240 desktop for viewing and creating simple movies. I have looked at other discussions on this topic before, and it doesn't look like anybody has really come to a decision as to what really works. I just want a simple graphics card with a minimum of 64MB of VRAM while keeping it under $80. Can anybody tell me what I should get and what will work? Thanks!

If that is the case (pun intended) you might have to do some checking around for a shallow graphics card.

I'm not familiar with this criteria. Sorry.

If small form factor means it looks like this: http://www.gainsaver.com/Catalog/Detail.aspx?ciCode=57059&cattree=yes&cid=103&sid=GX240_SFF_20&medium=ce&term=103&version=103 , then yes. It has an extra expansion slot available and I know almost nothing about graphics cards. I'm getting some new software and a new disc drive and I need better than the 32MB integrated card that's in there. I have no idea on what to get and don't want to screw up by buying the wrong thing.

if you can find one or something similar and it will have to be PCI. I am using this as an example. http://tinyurl.com/5pmzan
