I'm looking to upgrade my 9700 TX in my Dimension 4550. It appears to be dying
otherwise I wouldn't bother :-(
The new card needs to be reasonably new so that it can handled Doom/Half Life
etc.
I am looking for real world success and failure stories for various cards I'm
considering. The last thing I want to do is buy one that won't work with
the 4550. It seems some people are having trouble with the x800 Radeons.
So has anyone successfully/un-successfully added and of the following?
Can you make specify the exact model (eg. Pro/XT/SE) as there are just so
many different variants out there.
Did you have to upgrade BIOS or anything else to get it to work?
So the cards I'm thinking of are:
Radeon 9800
Nvidia 6600
Nvidia 6800
Radeon x800
Thanks
