Is this card compatible for me?

[sashkris]

Hi guys

I have a:
Dell Inspiron 530
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4CPUs),~2.4GHz
AMD Radeon DH 3600 Series
3GB RAM
DirectX 11

I'm thinking of buying an Asus AMD Radeon HD 6670 1GB GDDR5. Will this card be compatible for my system?

Looking here the board has a pci express1.0 16x V1.0 slot, and the case looks big enough to accomodate it, so I am thinking you would be ok.

Is this the card you are thinking of?

Sorry for not posting a link. It is this one.

Was just so knew whether it required additional power, which it doesn't, so still looks good...

Just checked my PSU and it's at 350W. Looks like the card need 400W... will it still run with no problems?

Hmmm, not sure on that point. Normally GPU manufacturers specify over and above what is required, but as that machine is running a q6600...

It might be ok. Maybe beef up the PSU too? Though I guess you are not looking to spend a lot...

The 350w Dell PSU's are strong, I ran an overclocked 6870 on one for over a year.

I'll probably buy a higher PSU later. Thanks for all the info.
