Graphics card
I bought a game the other day, Colin Macrae Dirt. First problem was a missing DirectX DLL, which I have sorted out.
Now I get an error saying the game won't run because my graphics card won't support Shader 3.0.
So I need a new graphics card. I have a Dell Dimension 5150 PC. I've seen them on the NVIDIA website, the 7600 or 7800 look good but I can't seem to find out if they will be compatible with my PC. Anyone know a location where I can check compatibility?
Thanks

Your PC has 1 PCIe x 16 (graphics) slot - that's PCI Express.
You need a PCI Express PCI-E (or PCIe) x16 graphics card.
Simple, innit!
