What type of graphics cards are compatible with DELL Dimension 2400 desktops?

Question

I mean things like pins and whatnot.

Answer 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.

Answer 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.

Answer 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:
