I have a dell optiplex gx620

Some Specs:

Pentuim 4 3.00GHz
2GB of Ram (think its DDR2)
80GB of storage
Integrated VGA Graphics card


im thinking of getting the Geforce GT240,mainly because i want something cheap and to improve performance.Anything is better than what i currently have. I know i wont be able to play all the latest game on high settings but im perfectly fine with playing at low or medium settings.

The GT240 will be a good match for your hardware. If anything, it will probably be bottlenecked by your CPU. There is a DDR3 and DDR5 version of the GT240. The DDR5 version is faster, but in this case I don't think it would matter with the rest of your hardware being a bit older. You can also find 1 and 2 GB versions of the card. A 1 GB card would be just fine.

For what it's worth, I've got a Core 2 Quad with a GT240 1 GB DDR5, and I really liked it.

I know :( but im fine with not getting a modern GPU, I just want to play flash game and league of legends with lag and I dont mind putting the settings on low, do u know of any GPU like that. I think the radeon 3450(agp or pci) was a good choice

Your attachment didn't show up, so I can't tell what you're seeing. The Optiplex GX620 comes in 3 form factors. The largest form factor has a PCI Express slot. If yours doesn't, I wouldn't bother upgrading it.

Please check sticker on your PC.
GX620 has PCIE slot, but identically looking GX520 doesn't!

This is GX620 Mini Tower motherboard

And this is GX520 Mini Tower motherboard

You can see that PCIE slot is missing.

There are 3 form factors for your model, which one is yours?

So, please check model to be sure.

Assuming it is LGA775. If it is an older Socket 478 then it is simply too old.

Also look for a G31/G41 chipset if you can. 9xx series is old

This card fits, no problem, no power supply upgrade.
