Hello again
I need to replace the video card on my brothers computer. Can someone please tell me a compatible or slightly better card to buy.
It is a Dell Dimension 4550
current card is NVIDIA GeForce4 MX420 I will also add 512 memory to his existing 512. Like I said a little better card but he doesn't want to spend too much.
Thank you :)

You are limited to AGP specifically 4x.

Look through this list and see what fits your budget.

You will also be limited by your power supply as it likely doesn't have much more watts than is currently needed.

Your Dell only has a 250watt power supply, so your options are very limited. I'd try the Geforce 6200. It's not going to make a huge difference though. That system is just not designed for games.
