Video Cards

[ReadyRayNJ70]

Hello:

I have a Gateway Desktop DX210S. I would like to install a video card to play games. Would anoyone have any suggestions?

The motherboard has been designed to be reverse mounted, and the internals of that case really don't support more than a single-slot video card:

So, you really can't get a video card with good gaming power into it. You can get a single slot card, but it won't give you substantial gaming performance. A Geforce 210 is a decent low-power single slot card. A Radeon 5450 is too.

Other than that, you'll need to upgrade (or rather standardize) your motherboard, case, and power supply in order to get any real gaming performance.
