  1. An unfilled memory socket lets you shoehorn a full gigabyte of memory into the Dimension 2400, and with two of the three PCI slots available, you can at least make some card-based upgrades. The tragedy of this motherboard is that there's no AGP slot, which closes off the upgrade path for the woefully underpowered integrated Intel graphics subsystem.


  2. The Dell Dimension 2400 only has PCI slots, which greatly limit your choices for an after market graphics card.  Below is a link to some cards that would work in your system.

  3. The Dimension 2400 lacks an AGP or PCI-E slot, so if you care enough to ask this question, you should probably sell the machine and buy a new 350$ desktop with a PCI-E slot. If you keep the machine, your options are pretty limited and overpriced:

    X1550 for 73$ Slow card, and 20$ in PCI-E form

    HD2400PRO for 60$ Still very slow, even assuming not bottlenecked by PCI

    There's also some cheap Taiwanese 6200 boards:
