I just purchased Compaq Presario 7598. It includes an integrated 2X AGP
3D graphics controller with Intel 810e chipset, with up to 8 Mb ram.
Compaq describes it as "integrated 64-bit hardware-accelerated 3D
graphics".

The motherboard has only PCI expansion slots available. I am primarily
interested in resolution, contrast and clarity, not really games.

Questions:

1.  If I upgrade to a PCI card - would I gain anything?

2.  If the answer is yes - which card should I consider?

Thanks for any input and advise.
