I currently own a HP 7680n. Here are my requirements. I'm new to graphics cards so forgive me if something doesn't make sense.
- Dual DVI Connections or similar. (I want 2+ monitors)
- No power connector necessary (draws power from motherboard)
- 450 watt power supply is enough (i slightly upgraded my stock one)
- single card slot... or double if you experts feel my PC can accommodate it.
- brand with some customer support.
- PCI Express? See below link to see if I'm correct.
- Under $50 is ideal... but I'll gladly do $100 more if it benefits a non-gamer like myself.
I hear a graphics card upgrade makes a noticeable difference? It comes stock with GeForce 7300 LE and any insight into what difference I can expect... please let me know.
See below CNET Link for details....
