lol don't feel bad about it, who would have known my computer was backwards.... oh wait i should have. heheh. but oh well now i know something for the future. I ordered this card and it should be here friday http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102792 someone in the customer reviews had a E521 and the card worked for them and they played GTA 4 on it so i'm going to keep my fingers crossed this one works. I really want my pc to be ready for dawn of war 2
I think i may have found a cheaper solution to my problem. The card I have in hand is the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161252
Now if i went with a slimer card like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102804
do you guys think that would work ? I think my PC may give me that much room to work with if it was a slimer singleslot card. are there any better options than that? its only $10 more than the other, better than$400 upgradeing
wow that looks good. :) i want my dell hard-drive to work in that without haveing to format (i don't have os disk, only recovery right now) there will be no problem with that?
what cpu do you recommend for a upgrade from mine i have now this is the one i found
lol its was sort of a joke. I want to keep that card because its already in my hands. so i guess i have to build a new PC kinda but i want to keep what i can out of my old one to cut down on costs like the ram, dvd, video card... a new cpu, motherboard, case, PSU is what i need i gues but I am not up to date enough to figure out what i would need to upgrade from my old pc at a good price
Just a new case, or you can try to keep the components on mid air without a case :)wklzip
lol hey you helped me pick out that card :) but i can't keep the motherboard its little heatsink that goes on the nforce chip i think and the cup fan block cards from fitting.
[QUOTE="evilmudbug"]i didn't see any IDE cables, the HD had a thin one i think thats the sata? the motherboard I have is the dell 0CT103mike4realz
yeah it's a sata and yes ur hard drive from that dell computer will work on a new pc ok i was worried about that becuse i heard somewhere that your copy of windows you get with your dell comp is linked to your motherboard set-up or something like that.
mostly what i am asking is for someone to help me find out what i need to get that will work with the spare parts i have in a new pc for not alot of money
yeah the motherboard is kinda inverted/backwards and with the heatsink in the way it wouldn't be possible to upgrade any sizeable card in there i guess what i would need is a new mb, cpu, case, and psu but i'm good enough to put parts in and know what they all are, but my tech skills are lacking if i got a new motherboad would my old dell hard drive still work in the new pc?
