I used my PCs as crunchers for both the World Community Grid and GPUGRID.net as well as doing emails and other office related chores.

I have a Dell Studio which came out in 2009 that I have upgraded with Windows 7 SP1. It has a quad core Intel 8200 cpu which is not hyper-threaded. I plan to continue to use it to crunch WCG despite it is not hyper-threaded.

Here is my plan: I am planning to replaced the video card with a Nvidia Geforce GTX750Ti graphics card so I can use this system to crunch for GPUGRID.net on their medical projects.

I would appreciate getting feedback on the soundness of this plan and whether heat from the video card would be an issue.

you should be able to install a gtx 750 ti in it....but i can not find any information on which version of pci-e you have on motherboard ...they said pci-e X16 thats it?

i assume is the pci-e 2.0 ...so is backward compatible

and your psu should be able to drive the system power demand so far

so go for it if you are tight in budget

Does this answer your question?
