Hi all,
What I'm inquiring about today is whether any motherboard can run a pci-e graphics card aslong as it has the pci-e slot and sufficient power. Also whether there are any limitations to what CPU a motherboard can support.
I'm asking this because my motherboard is pretty rubbish, but it has a pci-e slot for a good GPU and supports socket AM2 CPUs. As long as I have a decent PSU will I be able to run something like a 9800gt and a 3.0GHz AMD64 X2?
If you need my motherboard specs here they are: http://tinyurl.com/kmc9mu
P.S. I quote from the link above,
"Supports the following processors:
*Athlon64 X2 4200+, 35W maximum TDP"
Is this just because the original PSU wouldn't be able to power it??
Many Thanks in advance,
Ben.
