I Need Compatibility Help!!!

HI, I hope to be buying a Shuttle XPC SP35P2 from OCuk I'll be buying a graphics card (BFG GeForce 9500 GT 1024MB DDR2 HDTV/DVI [PCI-Express])at the same time and I need to know if these are compatible? Thanks.

That shuttle has a PCI express port on it, and they sell them bundled with a 9600GT so I assume its all going to fit in the case.

Would be very odd if it didnt!

save yourself £21 and get the 512mb version. Anything that uses 1024mb will be rubbish on a 9500 anyway. If you want to spend that much then get this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...2 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail

So what is compatible GDDR3, DDR2 or what i don't understand this.

The RAM on the card is only used by the card and there are no possible issues with compatibility.

The only issues with compatibility for a graphics card are...

Size - Will it fit in the case? And as someone already said they fit.
Power - Will the PSU be able to power it? Yes.
Slot - You need a PCI-E slot. You have one
