Hey everyone.
So i have an old desktop computer
which i want to upgrade. Its a Fujitso Siemens computer Scaleo-P with a
AMD690VM-FMH motherboard. It has a 400w PSU 3GB of DDR2 ram and a 2.66GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000 processor and the current graphic card is an Nvidia Geforce 8600gt. I want to run the ATI 5770 (XFX version) on the computer if possible.
Will my mother board support it? (AMD690VM-FMH) I heard that the the graphic card needs a PCI-E 2.0 slot to run with 100% performance and i am not sure that my motherboard has that. What i do know is that all graphic cards are compatible with the old PCI-E 1.0, but i have heard that some performance will be lost. How much performance is it? Also can my PSU handle the new graphic card? .
Thanks
