    I would appricate it if someone could help me with a little problem I am having.

    I bought a Radeon 9600 se for my Dell Dimension 3000. I opened up the computer and the graphics card didnt fit in th AGP slot. I took it back and I still want a graphics card. I have already decided on ATI Radeon. I just need to know what Radeon will fit into my Dell's AGP slot. :D Thanks lot

    Hmm you might not have an AGP slot and probally have a PCI. What color was the AGP slot its usually a diffrent color from the other slots usually black or brown. Did it even come close to fitting the slot?

    Yeah, pritty close to fitting in. My Dell's slot is a long slot with a smaller one connecting to it . It didnt fit completely inside. I think the ATI site said I would needed a Radeon that is 2x 4x. I am not completely sure about this. There was a manual on the ATI Radeon site with a list of the different kinds on Radeons that fit into certain slots, but I cant find it anymore :D


    If this helps to understand what Iam talking about :D
    My Slot looks like this:
    ------------- ---

    The Radeon 9600 looked like this:

    Generally with gfx cards you have to pressure it a bit, same with PCI stuff, just try pushing down a bit harder, if not then :S
