Is a dell optiplex 170l compatible with Nvidia GeForce FX5500 FX 5500 AGP 256MB Video Card?

I got a Dell Optiplex 170L 640MB ram computer and i need to know if a Nvidia GeForce FX5500 FX 5500 AGP 256MB Video Card can work on my pc.Plz help i need to find a good graphics card compatible with this computer.Thx|||No, it's not compatible.



The Dell Optiplex 170L only has PCI slots- no AGP, no PCI-Express. So you can only use PCI video cards.



In any case, forget the Geforce FX 5200 and 5500 series cards. Those are obsolete, barely better than integrated motherboard graphics. The same goes for Radeon 7000 and 9000 series cards.



The only PCI cards worth buying are:



Radeon X1550

GeForce 6200

Radeon 2400

Geforce 8500GT



Any of those will provide a nice upgrade- links to cards below:
