Okay, here's the deal:
My Grandfather might get me a video card for my birthday that will work on my computer, but Dell's sight is being a sh*thead, so I can't find anything. My computer is a Dimension 45005 and I believe the stats for thye maximum card is this, but I'm not sure:
Bus Type: PCI
Bus speed: PCI 33MHz
PCI Connectors: 2
PCI connector size: 120 pins
PCI connector data width(Max): 32 bits

Now, I want something that will play Halo PC like an Xbox, or at least have the Master Chief be GREEN, not GRAY. I'm going to get another canker sore if I don't figure this out. PLEASE, someone tell me and give me a link to a video card that will work.

Get a computer with an AGP port.

No, I'm not getting a new computer. Not until I'm 16, anyway and that's 2 years away. I need a link to where I can find a card that's capable with what I already have!

since your stuck with pci your stuck with a gforce, since radeon amkes a single pci card and its not really that good (excluding pci-x) search around for some good geforce with 128-256 mb
