Default RE: AFPD - which video card???

I wish it did. It's a Dimension 2400, P4, 2 Gig, 256 RAM, with integrated video that I got about a year ago. I popped the case the night before last eagerly hoping to find and AGP slot but the only thing I found were PCI slots. I'll look again when I get home tonight but I doubt very seriously if it does. The ironic thing is I have a Gateway too that I bought years ago that was a relatively high powered unit "at the time" and it does have a AGP slot with an 8-Meg grapfics card. I bought and configured it to run games at the time, so why don't I use it? Well, it's a P3, with 128 RAM, but only a 750M processor. I could upgrade the RAM and video card, but isn't 750 Mhz too slow to run AFPD. When I bought the Dell, I had no intentions of using it to run games or anything graphics intensive. I have been running G2 on the Gateway for about a couple of years now, but the puter started having all kinds of problems and got to the point where it would crash after about an hour of use (many times, sooner than that) regardless of what I was using it for. So I loaded G2 onto the Dell because, well, you know I have to get my fix of flying (sim flying that is) as often as I can. Then I saw screen captures and videos of AFPD and, I don't have to tell fans how it effects you. All I know is that G2 is going to find it's way onto ebay as soon as I get the "real" sim and of course, something to run it on.
