Check out my Dell E510 specs in my signature. and I have one PCIx16 slot. Not the PCI x 2.0. I was just wondering if there was a video card out there that would increase gaming performance on my dell e510 system. Since I already upgraded it.
This is how I upgraded this desktop in the pass 2-3 years.
from 1 GB to 4 GB RAM
from ATI 256 MB x600 SE to a ATI 512MB to a 4670 to a X (possible upgrade??)
from 305 PSU to a higher quality 400 Watt CPU (to a possible upgrade with a new video card)
from Pentium 4 3.0 GHZ to a Pentium D 3.4 GHz
Is this as good as it is going to get for my precious dell E510? Or would upgrading my video card and maybe my power supply increase gaming performance. Or would the Pentium D 3.4 GHz just bottleneck any upgrade for the 4670 ATI.
Conclusion: What is the best video card upgrade without upgrading my power supply. What is the best upgrade with upgrading my power supply?
