I have an HP P6527c which I would like to get dual monitor capability. I found a
Dell OptiPlex GX620 in our garage. I am wondering if I can switch out the video card on that and replace the one on my pc. And if not, will I need to buy a dedicated video card?

Would an EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 DVI/HDMI/VGA Graphics Card, 01G-P3-1302-LR one do? I found one @Amazon. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049MPQA4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER. Also Would I need a better power supply? Mine just has 250w.

I am not a gamer though so the basic will work great for me. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Could you elaborate on that? Sorry I am not adept in tech stuff. Are you saying the product on the link will work for the dual monitor purpose but that I need the extra power supply?
