Hi guys.
My girlfriend has just bought a new pc from Dell. We did not get a graphics card as i have a spare one that could be used. We checked with Dell that the sysem came wit a spare PCIe slot and everything seemed ok until i tried to install it.
No 6pin power supply for the PCIe card!
In fact the only spare connectors coming from the power supply are the two daisy chained SATA power cables from the hard disk and the dvd drive.
Does any one have any bright ideas?
Do we need to get a new power supply or does anyone know of any cards that dont need a separate power supply?
What about PCI graphics cards, does anyone still make them?
We dont need anything fast, just something that will run World of Warcraft better than the built in graphics (which barely runs at all).
Thanks in advance.
