Good news friends! I just opened up my inspiron and it has two PCI 16X slots. The reason I know they are 16X is because they are friggen long white bars Now where do we go from here troops?
Hi, I recently bought a Dell Inspiron desktop, but I wanted to play Company of Heroes and World in Conflict. I understand that I can probably use a lower end graphics card for Company of Heroes, but I don't want to bother with getting a new graphics card down the line to play more recent titles. Here are the stats for my desktop: Inspiron 530,Intel Pentium Conroe Dual Core Processor E5200(2.5GHz,800FSB) with 2MB cache 4GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz(expandable to 6 GB) Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 320GB Serial ATA 2 Hard Drive (7200RPM) I know I know, its no Alienware desktop, but I only paid $250 for it =) btw-I lament everyday because I should have paid the extra $80 and got a Core 2 Duo Now the research I have done is that Graphics cards are power hungry..... So I have to get a new power supply(my current power supply is only 300 W). How much of a power supply would I need? Will a 550 W, work? What else do I have to change in order to install a graphics card such as the GeForce 9800
