graphics card compatiblity, you'll need a AGP slot on your motherboard for the graphics card.
if you've only got alot of white slots and one or two long black ones then you'll need a new motherboard.

with a 666MHz processor you probably only have slots for 100/133MHz SDRAM.
133mhz will work in 100mhz slots, but only at 100mhz. buy as much as your motherboard will allow.

i'm not sure about the different types of GF3, look aorund on a few sites.
if you live in england try Aria and EZ Computers for some good prices.

thats about all i can think of, hope it helps.

there are some variations on gf3's....theres the geforce 3 ti200, the geforce 3 and the gf 3 ti500. (in tha order of how good they are).

to make them compatible...you need to know if ur comp has any AGP slots on your motherboard. so really its they arent with just any PC, but they are with almost all modern motherboards.
