| XFX Geforce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card
RE: XFX Geforce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card
Am I crazy thinking I can put this card in my system? I am upgrading from an historic geforce3 ti500 (I love this old card)
My system (Yes,.. its a Dell)
Dell Dimension 8200
Intel P4 - 1.9 Ghz
1GB PC 800 NON-ECC RDRAM
20.1" Dell Ultra sharp 2000FP LCD monitor (Digital)
250W MAX Power supply (I am upgrading to a 450w--its on order)
I really just want a good new card that will support 2 DVI connections and is of equal quality to the ti500. Can I do this?
Thanks!! |

well, what power supply is your dell using?
That's about the only thing I can think of that will hold it back.

I just ordered a "Silencer 410 Dell-2"
410W @ 50C (450W peak)
.99 active PFC
+12V @ 23A
SATA drive connectors
Automatic fan speed control
Reduces noise by up to 90%
