I've upgraded an old HP 8100 Elite Slimline PC to Windows 10. I am going to give it away to an elderly neighbour. However, there are no Win 10 drivers for the AMD HD 4550 card in the system.
I've been looking for a cheap low profile card that has Win 10 drivers and found a good price on a Gigabyte nVidia GeForce GT 610 Silent 1GB. However, the specs say that it requires a minimum system power supply of 300 watts and the PC only has a 240 watt supply.
I'm planning to replace the HDD with and SSD, which would save on power too.
I this a big deal? No gaming is likely to take place, just web browsing and MS Word.
System summary:
CPU: Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.80GHz
RAM: 4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 664MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 304Ah (XU1 PROCESSOR)
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4550 (ATI)
Storage: 465GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKX-603CA0 (SATA)
Optical Drives: hp CDDVDW TS-H653T
Appreciate your help!
