[A[L]C]

Hi all,

Getting a prebuilt machine on finance. These are the specs:

Intel® Core 2 Duo E6420 Processor (2.13GHz,1066MHz,4MB cache)
2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
320GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA/100 Hard Drive with 16MB DataBurst cache
256MB ATI® Radeon® X1300 Pro PCI Express graphics card
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Integrated 7.1 Channel High Definition Audio
13-in-1 Media Card Reader

Looking to upgrade the gfx card but what do you think is the most I can go to? The res is going to be 1280 x 1024

8800 GTS. (320mb) it'll suit you fine.

I didnt think the prebuilts psu (300w) would take an 8800?

How about the 8600?

Stay away from the 8600

Just try and upgrade the PSU

Not a good card then I guess lol. Will have to wait until I get the desktop to see if I can change the psu then

Bear in mind that some OEM systems use custom case/psu sizes meaning that it's not always easy as simply swapping out a PSU.
