Will this Radeon 9200 se (128 mb) video card be compatible with my dell dimension e310?

first off, NO i will not buy a new computer, and i KNOW that this computer is not worth upgrading. i happen to have gotten this video card for free. i was wondering if it was compatible with my dell dimension e310.



what is written on the box:

Radeon 9200 SE

128 MB

PCI

DirectX 8.1

TV Out

VGA

DDR

DVI|||ok, short and simple answer, Yes, its compatible, so long as you have a free PCI slot inside your pc on the motherboard, pic below of PCI Slot...

--IMPORTANT--

ALWAYS FOLLOW ESD INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR PC INTERNAL COMPONENTS,link below to read BEFORE opening up your pc!

Then make sure you got the software that comes with the graphic's card (DRIVER/S), install it in a free PCI slot in your pc, but from now on, NEVER EVER connect your monitor to the onboard monitoroutput of the whole pc will have to be reset, only ever use the outputs on your newly installed PCI Graphics Card;



!!! PLUS !!!

You will be able to use TWO MONITORS from now on bcoz mostly ALL graphics cards let you configure 2 screens!!! (this is the part where you jump for joy, then contemplate where to get hold of another monitor~!!~lol)



Hope that helped!
