    What I need are possible exact names and models of cards that will work.
    Dell Dimension 4550; I haven't looked thru all the specs. I think it has some sort of nvidia AGP with 64MB RAM
    The owner would like to try something like Adobe photo elements which requires 128MB video RAM.
    I just upped the memory in the computer from 256MB (that's a crime, Dell) to the max it can take 1GB.
    The computer also has three PCI slots so anything that is PCI or AGP with 128MB or better would work as a suggestion.
    Thanks in advance from this clueless video card shopper.

    I asked for models that would work in this particular computer. Assume I know nothing about graphics cards and you'll be correct.
    I don't even know enough to know if I have to stick to the same brand that is currently in the computer.
