Hey /g/ have an old Dell Vostro 200 that I am going to be upgrading and keeping as a secondary computer
Pentium 1.8GHz to C2D 3.0GHz
1.5GB of RAM to 3-4GB of RAM
I need to add a GPU to the machine.
What would be a good GPU to throw in there? It still has stock OEM power supply.

What the fuck is this horse shit.

rx480
Radeon 6450s usually go for like $30 brand new. Or as they're known now, the r3 230 or some shit.
Or a Geforce 210. They're $25 brand new and play Minecraft 60+ fps on a 768 monitor. (Got one for my lil sister)
>>55135550
It's a backup/secondary machine kent, not gonna be using it for gaming or anything.
>>55135560
Hmm which one would you recommend? Not gonna be playing on it as far as I know, maybe with the exception of a game like Civ5, it's not gonna be my main PC.

Why do you need to add a GPU? Save your money Anon. That $30 could go towards something worthwhile down the line.

An ssd would be better than a gpu, core 2 igpu is plenty for day to day use.

GMA is not enough for 1080p video and streaming.
Is an SSD really better? Fuck I feel bad because I wasted a $30 dollar Ebay gift card on Doom, could have gotten a SSD or GPU instead.

No
>>55135843
How about a 9600gt? They are cheaper.
>>55135932
Actually gma is enough.
Did you even do any research. Spend the money on an ssd instead.

You sure?

How much ram do you have?
I'm assuming you're making the right choice and installing Linux?
Make sure to go with a light DE like lxde or mate.
XFCE would be alright too

3GB

3gb is plenty for a shitbox.
Lubuntu uses less than 300mb and Linux is a lot more efficient with ram than windows is.

Op?
