you can put any gen pcie card in any gen pcie slot.really ? will it only run at the speed that the pcie lane runs at ?
Why, do you have an x4 lane or something?
no i have a 16 x
elecrical that is
The you have no worries, pcie 2.0 at x16 speeds is more than enough bandwidth for any card.
Hell, even if it was x4 a card would still run at 90-95% speed of the same card in a bigger lane.

why dont you get a newer graphics card? that one is 4 generations old. what is your budget for a new graphics card, and what psu do you have?i only have pcie rev 2 so im limited to what i can buy and i am upgrading my current psu to a seasonic g series 550w
Unless your current PSU is total garbage you could save some money here.
Just buy a GTX 750 - your CPU will bottleneck it a little but you will be able to turn the graphics up quite nicely on a lot of games and it's very low power so you probably won't need to upgrade your PSU.

That is a good PSU, more than enough for a GTX 750really ? : /
what about a 6850 i recently purchased thats card will it work?
The gtx 750 has a tdp of 55 watts
The HD6850 has a tdp of 127 watts
That's pushing it but it could still be enough, depending on what amperage the dell PSU has on the +12v rail (it would be on the sticker on the side of the PSU, my guess is it's around 19a).
Also, I believe the 375w dell doesn't have a 6 pin connector for the graphics card? If it doesn't then I would buy a new PSU before installing a 6850

no i does have a 6 pin
and it does have a 12v rail
if i was to buy a new power supply it would have to be 13cm long

It sounds like you have 18a on two rails which is 36a - PLENTY for a hd 6850
Even if you're limited to 30a (your sticker will say something about 'the combined output of the 12v rails is limited to 360w') it's still more than enough, dell PSUs are very reliable.
thats exactly whjat it say thanks

Excellent, the 6850 is a good match for your E8400 too. Enjoy
how do you know that ?
I used to own a e8400 + HD7770 and they worked well together. Your 6850 is pretty similar to the 7770
i tyred the the card and its working fine but i get this message that says diplay driver has stopped working and has successfully recovered. i read online that i need a 500w minimum power supply to power it what are your thoughts

I don't think it's the PSU. I mean it's not impossible that it's the PSU, but I think it's far more likely to be a software issue.
You have 360w on the 12v rail
6850 = 127w max
E8400 = 65w max
Fans, HDDs etc = 50w max and probably less
That's 242 watts max or 67% load, which is well within the limits of your PSU. Don't worry about the 500w thing
When and where do you get this error? Is it during games, on the desktop, watching movies or youtube?
