I've been googling, maybe not in the right places, but I can't seem to find an answer. Got 32MB of video memory now and I put a DVD in and got poor video quality, (squares). Went thru some troubleshooting and did'nt find anything.|||Paul, first, the previous answer is a good one: buy a more recent model of computer because even the cheaper recent ones will work better than the older model.
Second, it looks like your unit might require a half-height graphics card. Be sure to check on that before buying a card. Also be sure you buy an AGP card, most new ones are PCI-E models that won't fit in the AGP slot.
Third, the GeForce FX 5200 does come in half-height models, and includes 128MB onboard. But, that is just one example.
Last, if you stick with your current machine, then make sure it has the most RAM in it that it can hold (512MB). That will help its performance immediately and overall.|||my advice is that if you have an old computer, then don't buy a graphics card for a old piece of crap. Just buy a low end new computer and save yourself future headaches.
