Would love to upgrade the graphics card on my PC for games (mainly Microsoft Flight Simulator). It doesn't have to be ultra high end but I'm guessing anything would be an improvement on what I'm currently using.

Have been searching the internet for hours now and still not sure what type of card will be compatible with my PC. My power supply is 300w and I'm pretty sure its an AGP card I need but I have done the free pc spec scan with this website and the link is below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

It does indeed look like AGP so any AGP should do. However, you may need a bigger PSU to support it. You board also support PCI (not PCIe) cards. These are typically more powerful than on-board graphics - at least on older boards, but not as power hungry as many AGP.

Thanks for the advice. Will look into what you've said, cheers.

No problem. I would probably suggest PCI. These tend to be pretty low cost, and, as mentioned, not as power hungry. Plus you still get the advantages of a card over on-board - a better GPU and dedicated graphics RAM on the card. The latter will likely be significant because the on-board steals system RAM for graphics processing. A card frees up that system RAM, in effect, giving you a little RAM boost in the process.

Sorry just one final question. With going from what you said would this card be suitable for my PC? Looking at the connections it looks about right but just wanted a second opinion.

(P.S. Promise I wont ask this every time I think I see something suitable)

Thanks

(P.P.S. just noticed its a PCI Express which is no good to me...darn it will keep looking)

Right. I sure wish they - whoever that is - used something different than PCIe, it is too easy to confuse with PCI, which is totally different and incompatible.

Here's 50+ to look at.

Low profile is for really slim cases, but typically will fit fine in normal cases - though a bracket adapter may be required.
