Very new to Linux.

Installed Lite 2 and works fine . Desktop is great and stable. BUT when it boots ,apart from an inordinate long time , the opening screen are unreadable.

I'm not sure if it is my video card or the way the Lite was loaded ??

I'm using Lite as my full OS on a Dell 2200 desktop . The video card is on  the motherboard .

Would a PCI video help ?

Thanks

That is an awfully old machine, I'm just glad LL boots for you :) What pci video card do you have?

At the moment I'm using the MB card ... I'm wondering if a PCI card would be better ? If so what card would you look for

Use linux as a search term on the reviews for the card you wish to pick.  I read  real bad one for the zotac card. So don't get it.
Or copy the model number and use this search engine

Make sure you pick PCI, not PCI-E.
