Thinking of buying Radeon HD 6750, but has just remembered to check the compatibility with my motherboard. I'm currently using Abit 145D as my motherboard, will the GPU fit into it?

Hi there,

If it is this one, than no problem. But your CPU and RAM will bottleneck here.

Based on the Intel 945GC chipset coupled with a ICH7 southbridge, the new budget board boasts support for Intel's current 65nm processors and also supports the next generation of 45nm processors with front side bus speeds up to 1333MHz. The 145D supports dual-channel DDR2 667 modules via its two DIMM slots. The I45D has 1 PCI-E x16, 1 PCI-E x1 and 3 PCI expansion slots. The board also has 4 SATA 3Gb/s connections, 5.1 channel on-board audio and integrated 10/100 LAN. Pricing and availability were not announced.

Yep, that's the motherboard that I'm using all right, even the colors are downright similar. what exactly do you mean by CPU and RAM bottleneck? I'm a real beginner when it comes to PC terms.

by the way, here is my system specs:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66 Ghz
Mainboard: Abit 145D
Memory: 1 stick of 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2
VGA: Currently using Radeon HD4650, will upgrade to HD 6750 if available
Harddisk: ST3250310AS 250 GB
DVD-RW: Samsung TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202J
OS: Microsoft Windows XP SP3

your gpu is too powerfull for your cpu it will work but you wont be able to unlock all the gpu power.

I see, no damage can be caused from using a GPU that is too powerful though right?

no. there is always a bottleneck in even the best pc's in the world but just not in the same place.

The mobo, CPU and RAM will prevent the GPU from the best it can do, so u will waste half of your money, unless u will [strike]upgrade[/strike], build new PC in near future : )
