Hi All

I currently have a Dell Dimension 9150 with the worst graphics card and I wish to upgrade my Graphics Card to the Nvidia GTS 250.

Will my PC stand for this?

Will I need new Power Supply?

Will the whole thing crash and burn?

All answers will receive generous rewards.....

Regards

You should ok with power, just make sure the card has enough space since most 250 are dual slots. You can also get the new ATI 4770 and save yourself some cash, space, and power needs.

Currently running at 375 watts but hopefully the GTS 250 won't need that much supply but if it does I have had some good suggestions from DellUser1

Always listen to Delluser1, he always gives well informed advice about all systems, especially Dells. Just make sure that the HD4770 was available when his advice was given, it matches up very well against the GTS250 512MB, but gets beaten by the GTS 250 1GB (depending on game/resolution/settings)
