I would check to see if it has a AGP slot first.

Assuming you did, you could put a mid range card in there, and it would be OK.

What card is it again??

Also, what PSU wattage do you have?

 

[tylerx12]

the card is a BFG Geforce 6200...umm..what is a AGP slot?

 

[m3trj]

Accelerated Graphics Port. It is a plug just above the PCI slots. If you have a graphics card, it will be plugged into it usually.

 

[tylerx12]

is there any way i can check without opening my comp up?
oh and i dont know how to check my wattage or what ver you said...

 

[tylerx12]

[tylerx12]

Download CPU-Z from www.cpuid.com look on the option that says mainboard. At the bottom half of that one, it would say if it does.
