Hi
I am a proper novice. But I was wondering if i could install an old ATI Radeon X300SE 128mb on an Abit IP35 pro motherboard temporarily. My current 8800 GT gfx card had blown so I am trying to seek out an ATI 7770 for under £50 through ebay. This could take a week or 2. In the meantime I have this old media centre pc lying around with this PCIe x 16 card in it.
I know it fits into the slot. Just worried how it my power up the card as it don't require a 6 pin connector or if it might damage my mobo instead.
Cheers.
Nope, your fine. It will just be drawing power from the PCI-e slot. So yeah, don't stress.
