[#0055aa][b] Hi does anyone know of a website that can scan my PC to see what upgrades i can achieve ie Graphics card etc like the one cruical does for upgrading memory.... as i would like to upgrade my graphics card and do not know how to go about choosing a suitable card .... I currently have a nVidia GeForce 6200LE/TC / 64(256) MB ( stop laughing ) also would like to upgrade processor in future ....
Not a specific scanning website that will give you a report and advice on what to upgrade. You can always post your system specs on this forum and we will b eglad to give sugestions.
Belarc is a good quick app to tell you whats in the pc now as far as MoBo etc goes, everest and si soft sandra lite will do a similar job.
If you do post we would need to know all the specs from Motherboard through to power supply.

Problem #1 now is whether these cards fit in the case (both are around 9" or 9.5" long, depending on model). Cooling may also be inadequate in a case designed for office work rather than gaming.
Problem #2 is the PSU. It seems to be underpowered for these cards and a proprietary type too, from what I've read. (I just used Google a bit.)
#3 is that DDR2-533 and the old IDE HDD and the CPU will all limit performance.
If you can afford to start over and build a new PC I think you should do it.
