I have a IBM 300PL with S3 video on board with 4 MB   I have a NVidia Gforce 2 MX400 but that video card is not for desktop. I can put in the slot. I need information for possibles video card up grade.

Thanks

Juan, you're going to have to get a PCI card. See my other post.

Well, I've got the same machine. It has an AGP slot, so I ordered an ATI Radeon 9250, got it today, went to install it -- and found that the exit hole on the case is designed for a different type of card. There's no way to plug in the socket end (the part that you connect your monitor to).

Could be the design of AGP cards has changed in the last few years since this computer was made. But I'm stuck with my 16M PCI card that is slow and incompatible with Windows XP Service Pack 2.
