    1. Can someone please help me find out what graphics interface (AGP, PCI, PCI-E etc.) my Dell Dimension 8200 has? I've googled it but found nothing.

    2. Here are my computer specs:

    Is it worth getting a 6600GT on that computer? Will it make a huge difference over my other card, and be able to run some of the newer games? Or will my crappy CPU/MOBO make it so I can't run newer games even if I upgrade?

    I'm going to have to guess AGP, but I am not for certain. Google didn't help much. Wait for reassurence though.

    look at the mainboard tab, if it mentions AGP you have AGP 2.0, if it doesn't you have PCI.

    His GF2MX is integrated so im going to guess and say their is no expansion slot so you'd be limited to PCI only

    Take a look at your mobo, you should see a large slot with a sort of clip. If you only have small ones (PCI), then you are limited to PCI cards, which are crap.
