Hi, I'm trying to extend the life of a dell dimension 2400 by adding a graphics card to make it able to play back HD video.
The processor and ram are:
2.2 GHz Northwood Pentium 4
1 GB of ram
The motherboard only accepts PCI graphics cards, and after some searching, I found this:
PNY VCG84512SPEB GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Video Card - Retail $39.99 after $10.00 Mail-In Rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133245
Will this be bottlenecked by my processor, ram, or system? If possible, I'm planning to see if I can use this for light gaming too.
