AJLynn Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The 6600 GT is a good value. Make sure to get the right model - I think they sell these in PCI-Express and AGP, you need to check whic kind of slot your motherboard has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow choppe Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 thas what i want to know.... i have intel 915 motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Intel 915 based boards come in both types, you'll need to check on this yourself, either by examining what's already there or going through your Device Manager (under the System control panel). EG, here's mine on a PCI system, I have it set to View Devices By Connection and circled the important part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow choppe Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thanks man I have a PCi express slot So i am going for 6600 GT thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hess Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Be wary...many closely spec'd prebuilt systems (like dell's) do not have sufficent power to power upgraded video cards. One of my friends recently tried the exact same upgrade on his 2.8C Dell. The Video card overpowered the bare minimum spec psu the system had...so he bought a new psu...which didn't fit dell's special case, so then he bought a new case, and found out the dell motherboard doesn't follow standard ATX specifications...needless to say he was seriously pissed off.
