Video Card Upgrade

FAdmiral · 02-19-08, 04:28 PM

I run a GF 7600GT 256-DDR3 with my PCI-E board. XP home with 3 gig of
DDR2 ram. Everything works just fine, even the graphics extensive "Crysis"
game looks very good with decent frame rates....

Thanks for all the opinions. I found a 470W Dell compatible PS, so that's on it's way. I'm still deciding on the video card, have to look at them and see which ones will fit in the space allowed, the 7950 and 8800 won't without lots of mods. I have to figure out how to get the top off the Dell E521 box, looks like the PS is attached there, too. I'm also starting to wonder if this is worth the trouble.......(just shelled out $450 to fix the car, $45 part, $400 labor on top of a $650 fuel oil bill. Feelin' the squeeze

)...but it may be the only vacation/entertainment I can afford this year!:hmm:
