Hi everyone,
I am thinking of purchasing the Dell Vostro 220 Mini tower. I am thinking of going with the onboard graphics option, but then adding two video cards to it so that I can support 4 discreet displays. I am not a gamer, and will be using the displays for Office apps and generally to multi-task.
The following slots are available for expansion:
PCI: 2 Slots
PCIe x1: 1 Slot
PCIe x16 (Graphics): 1 Slot
I should be able to add one card to the PCIe x16 slot and another one to either the PCIe x1 or the PCI slot, right?
FYI, I will NOT be adding any sound cards to the mix
The Power Supply on the Vostro 220 is rated as 300 Watts. Will I have any issues with this, as in is this enough power supply to support two video cards?
Also, I understand that the two video cards have to be the same chipset so that there is no driver conflict. Can anyone recommend a good set of cards to get?
Thanks for your help in advance!
