Will I be able to put a decent graphics card into this??

Exactlly what im trying to find out. Unfortuanly cant find much information.

Just found this information:

http://www.dmxdimension.com/faqs/frequently_asked_questions/dell_dimension_graphics_card_upgrade_options.html

Just read this information aswell under system specification:

PCI 2.3: 120-pin connector
PCI Express x1: 36-pin connector

So not sure if it does actually have a PCI Express slot which would allow another graphics card to be added although not AGP.

The system has 3 PCI slots listed as:

2 PCI slots
One PCIe x1

I think i will be going for this.

1 PCIe x 16 (graphics) slot is what you need to fit a graphics card and this model does NOT have that.
So even if you go for a PCI card you may have height trouble as its a slim case.

HTH.

You will only be able to install PCI cards in this, and even then you may be restricted to low profile cards, making it even more unlikely that you'd be able to find one to fit.
I suggest if you really are into gaming you get a 5150 and put a PCI-E graphics card in.

Top Tip?I ordered one coz it seemed a good deal, then found out couldn't be upgraded.Rang Dell and cancelled, they were very good about it, even checked upgradability with technical.So if in doubt, order and then cancel.

Just bought this from pc world and got them to upgrade the monitor to 19 inches for the same price, excellent value for money.

Does this support wifi or is there room for a card?

Also, is the better screen worth upgrading?

You could stick a USB wifi dongle on it handy enough, I'd say the screen would be fine for everyday use
