Hi folks - I'm looking to upgrade my graphics and Amazon has what looks like some pretty dirt cheap Sapphire HD 4670 deals for $50 after rebate.
I have pretty modest gaming needs - I'm playing 'Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy' and the requirements are for a 512 MB card but the card I have right now is only 1/2 that.
I have:
Dimension 8400 3.4 gHz, 3GB DDR2 RAM
Windows XP Pro
350W PowerSupply
The Sapphire Card is described as:
Sapphire Radeon HD4670 1 GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video Card 100256HDMI

I'm sure this card would really improve things - I just need some advice on if this looks compatible - I don't really want to monkey around with a new Power Supply or anything - I just want to buy my $50 card, install it, and be amazed and happy
PS - this isn't a problem that the Sapphire is DDR3 and my RAM is DDR2? - duh - don't know much about any of this
Thanks!
Lance
