Any suggestions on what to look for. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000. I have had
the case open to Over clock it with a Jumper. Was 1.16 GHz now 2.16. I have
maxed out the ram to 2 gigs DDR2.

I would not hesitate to get one if I was sure I could use it. So, where
would the slot be for adding an additional graphics chip?

Thanks in advance.

Mark
