How do I find the correct card?

Thanks to everyone. I will open the case and see what might be in the way and how much room I have. Sounds like I can get just about anything as long as it meets the power requirements! Good news!

How do I find the correct card?

Well, this system isn't looking so bad now! Maybe it is "decent" with the E8400 3.0Ghz with 4GB ram. If I upgrade the video it seems this will serve me well. Agree?

Avertec Laptops.

just bought a 3715 at sam's for $799. Added 1gb ram (1.5 total) for $100. Keyboard fells better than my Dell d600 or my older HP laptops. However, it is a smaller keyboard so accuracy seems to be more of an issue.
