    I hope the 3rd times a charm, i've tried to make this post twice and it keeps saying links broken.. anyway

    Hey guys..

    I know this isn't a laptop, but i need your help.

    I am wanting to upgrade my dell dimension 3000 from xp to win7. It's a stock pc other than I upgraded the memory to 2GB.

    I'm going to install a DVD drive.

    But I want to know would this be a compatible/good card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4824267&csid=ITD&body=MAIN

    And how good do you think it would run win7?

    All i really use this pc for is light web browse and MOSTLY streaming movies to my ps3. That's why i really want to upgrade to win7, i heard it works much better. Also I'm sure a better graphics card would help that out a lot too.
