Hello,
I just bought a cheap second hand computer online, and I'm looking to upgrade the GPU so I can play a few older games on it.
The Motherboard is a Foxconn LS-36.
Foxconn (This was the best link I could find to the motherboard specs unfortunately)
It has a 750W PSU, Intel Xeon 5130 dual core CPU and 4Gbs of RAM.
I did a quick search at a shop nearby and found three cards in my price range:
Sapphire HD5450 512M PCI-E
Asus EN210 1GB GDDR3
Gigabyte GV-N210SL-1GI Geforce 210 1GB Fanless DDR3 PCIE2.0
It's been a while since I did any hardware upgrading and my knowledge is out of date. Can anyone tell me if these will be compatible, and if there are any other reasons why they'd be particularly good or bad buys? You can recommend other cards if you have a good idea, but please bear in mind I'm in New Zealand so have limited availability. We can get most things here but older stuff may be harder to come by, and no Newegg for example.
Thanks
