Graphics Card Question

[techi3]

Intel(R) Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family. This is what is labeled in Device Manager under Display Adapters. Is this the video card? I tried to Google it and found nothing helpful. I was trying to find out if my computer could support World of Warcraft.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 6400@2.13GHz
Ram: 2.99 usable

That is your chipset, yep, it means you have onboard video.

I think the only thing will be hurting you for WoW would be the graphic card.

I'm not even sure where the graphics card is, I have searched YouTube and all the graphics cards where located in those PCI slots, all mine are empty. I definitely want to upgrade it.

You have integrated video. It is built into your board. It is run with your chipset.

Will I be able to add one in the PCI slot? I've noticed some users have two graphics cards.

You have to have 2 PCI-E ports to do that, you have one.

What is your PSU wattage? I don't think you could put a lot on it, because those "Dell" PSU's aren't that great at adding anything but what the computer came with.

Looks like my friends old machine. You can run up to probably a low grade 5 or 6 series card.

He only has 1 PCI-E slot too.

Is the PCI-E the black one? I'm still trying to find a good guide that explains all the different ports. It puts out 305 Watts.

What model is that Dell? It should show you in the manual if you still have it.

I bought it refurbished, i know that was a bad idea now.
