I have a Dell Dimension 4700 PC with a P4, 3.0Ghz Processor and 1 GB of RAM. The graphics adapter, as per Windows Device Manager is the following:
Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family
Do you recommend me the same graphics card?? In the specs it has PCI and also PCI-Express slots.
Thanks!

I wouldn't recommend anything more than something like this,
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100295HDMI Radeon HD 4670 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
not the fastest, but still a very good budget card and won't require a PSU upgrade as well.
I believe that with an experience rating of 1.0 ANYTHING will be more than adequate to make my computer perform much better. Right now Windows 7 looks like an enhanced version of XP (because the way I can see it running).
Thanks for the recommendation.
The core clock is actually fairly good on that at 750 mhz. The memory clock is also decent but it may suffer a little bit due to only 128-bit memory interface. It will be a million and one times better than what you have though. Worth every penny it's shown for.
Thanks for the help... I'll order that video card ASAP!
Have a nice weekend!!
Would this card be for general desktop usage or games?
Then a 4650 might be better, but I would highly recommend the HIS ICE-Q 4670:
Newegg.com - HIS H467QS1GH Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Note that if your PCI Express slot is v1 you won't get the performance in games, but for you this doesn't matter.
What is the difference between the 4650's and the 4670's??
For gaming quite a bit,

Depending on the game it can be the difference of playable or not. For what you are planning on using it for the 4650 might be a better choice because of the lower price (on average about $20 less than the 4670).
