Aftermarket graphics card with DVI for Dell Dimension 1100
Can I get an aftermarket graphics card (preferably Dell) that provides a DVI port for my Dell Dimension 1100? How difficult would it be to install? I want to connect to a LaCie 320 Monitor.

Hi Bahpoopie,
Looks like the FX5200 is no longer available from the manufacturer(?). What's the diff between the FX5200 and the FX5200 Ultra?

Why you have to buy aftermarket, please see the link for a bunch of video cards that have DVI port for your LCD monitor, and even better memory to support photography.

I recommended that because it was very cheap used. About 4 bucks from what i saw hah. But in all reality a pci card in general will work for your machine specs. So just find yourself a PCI card with a dvi port. Newegg is pretty good as posted above.
4 bucks! that is almost free :o) but watch out the hidden shipment fee though.

I'll think I'll spring for the GeForce 6200
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130289 )
- no fan (quieter)
- SubD connector
- just a few dollars more.
Would that work with the Dell Dimension 1100 and the LaCie 320?
