Xfx GeForce 6600GT PCI-E 128MB

[Jamie17]

The 6600GT is the graphics card that I want, but I'm not sure if my Dell dimension 2400 (lowend PC) could take it. Do you think it would run smooth if i bought this card or would I have to upgrade other components first so it runs properly?

Well firstly we'll need to know the specifications of this computer of yours.

Secondly XFX isn't the best brand, you'd be better off with eVGA or Leadtek.

Lol, I don't know how find my specs, i've lost all my manuals. All i can tell you that it's the CPU is 2.8 GHz and my RAM is 768 MB (originally 256MB) Is there a way of finding your specs on your computer?

I will almost guartnee that you dont have a PCI-E slot

Open up your computer and take a picture of the slots, and than we will know which cards will fit

 

[Jamie17]

I'll try soon, but I also know i do not have an AGP slot :S

 

[Jamie17]

If i do open up my PC how do you know what slots are what?

If you don't have an AGP slot, and I doubt you have a PCI-E slot, you probably have a regular PCI slot :-\

I know for certain there only a pci slot, so start saying nvidia 5500
