Hi,
I have a Dell Dimension 9150 and am looking to upgrade my video card. I use my PC for gaming and multimedia applications. I would like to be able to play COD4 and Modern Warfare 2 when it comes out.
My PC specifications are:
Windows XP Media Centre Edition
Pentium D 2.9ghz CPU
2x 1gb RAM modules (533mhz)
2x 512mb RAM modules (533mhz)
Dell 375W PSU
Current Graphics Card- ATI x300 hypermemory (completely rubbish!!!!!)
I have several USB devices running on the computer
I was thinking of either getting an ATI HD4670 or a NVidia GeForce 9600gt. I was also looking at the 9800gt however was unsure if my CPU would bottleneck. I have not upgraded my graphics card before and do not know if it has external power connectors.
I have four questions
1) Does my PC have external power connectors?
2) Will my computer be able to handle a 9800gt?
3) Is the HD 4670 better than the 9600gt?
4) What is the best card I could get?
Thanks
