DC5000 MT graphics card upgrade

I want to upgrade the graphics card in our DC5000 MT.  I have a GEFORCE 7300 GS PCI express card from another computer that won't fit.  Do I just need one of the standard PCI cards?  Thanks!

No it is a P4 so I am sure it just needs an AGP video card.

Re: DC5000 MT graphics card upgrade

Unfortunately, it must be a PCI card. I have a DC5000 myself, and there aren't many on the market. I have a Nvidia Geforce 6200 256 mb, but anything better than that (there are some available up to a GT430 with 512 MB memory) will be bottlenecked by the PCI interface. The 6200 is pretty pathetic; the onboard graphics are just as good.
