Hello All!!!
I am in the market for a new video card sense my XFX 7600GT is starting to show its age. I have windows vista business 32bit with a ASUS M2N-E motherboard, 580watt PSU, 2 GB ram, 2.8ghz AMD 64 X2 CPU. I have Three hard drives with only one empty space left in the drive bay. My case is a Apevia X-Plorer Blue ATX Case w/ Side Window. I have my eye on a 8800 series card but I have ran into some questions. I'd like to have the EVGA 640-P2-N824-AR GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card but it is 9 inches long and would hit my SATA connectors on 2 of my hard drives. I found a XFX PVT88SFDD4 GeForce 8800GS XXX 384MB 192-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card that is only 8.5 inches long and would be perfect but I am afraid that the PCI Express 2.0 on the card is not compatible with the PCI Express 1.0 on my MOBO. So does anyone have any Ideas on what I can do?
