Need help, want a new mobo Dell Dimension 8250

Hi,

I have a Dell Dimension 8250 but its motherboard is getting outdated, I want PCI express x16 so I want to replace the motherboard. What motherboards can I keep in this case/computer?? I was looking at this motherboard (www[dot]compusa[dot]com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3500142&Sku=E145-8406)
Will that work???

thanks man, really enlightening. Sigh... Dell apparently manufactured it so that you have to use some special mounting to put another ATX mobo in

i suggest you just get new everything, the the case is far from standard (the PSU is non-ATX too), that means that if you want a new mobo you at the very least need a new case, a new PSU and a new mobo, and i think that if your getting all that you might as well upgrade everything else because if you don't have PCIe then it can't be that great of a system, spend $800 and get a complete replacement, it will not only be faster but it will be easier to upgrade as well
