128MB PCI Express x16 ATI RadeonTM X300 SE-
hi people what do you think about this graphics card? i'm buying a dell comp with this card. do you think its enuff to play the latest games without compromise? also, i read in this forum that PCI is no good. but what about PCI -express. is it as good as AGP or better?

pci- express is the fastest slot in the world and also that card isnt a very good card.ideal for a casual gamer.take my word for it and get ur self a 6600GT(15000Rs).and also dell dimension pc's r the BEST branded PC's around.the only problem is they load a lot of cr@p when u get the pc.junk softwares and stuff.so after u get the PC.reformat the hard disk.the PC will work like a charm.

the card is cr@p
literally cr@p for a gamer
get a 6600 like nikihilesh said or an ati x600 (17k)
and id suggest an assembled pc ... but then .. thats just me

yo nikhilesh...i have a dell PC and a laptop..what exactly do u mean by a lot of crap/junk software???? and u dont need 2 format the drive 2 make it run smoothly...it runs sweet right out of the box.....but yeah, this aint a very good card....decent if u r a casual gamer but if u a hardcore gamer, u need a better card....

Dell the best ??? ur kidding me....the last co I worked for all the PC's were converted from Compaqs to dells and I tell u they are crap! These were pretty high end machines too. 2GHZ P4 with 80 GB HDD and 1gig RAM. We used it for the application purposes and I have to tell u it was a struggle. The machine constantly used to hum becos of high RPM's of the HDD's. Frequent crashes used to happen as well on Windows 2000 professional. Linux was an absolute pain to install on it any flavour any distro nothing was easy. Compared to the compaqs DELL's were crap!!
