Title: Technical help requested Post by: Nightstalker on October 28, 2006, 10:41:43 PM Ive been out of the loop of PC dynamics for some time, so when i went out and purchased a geforce 6600 to throw in, I realized that it didnt fit. I then realized there was no video card in there. since when the fuck did they start integrating them. anyways the mission is to find out what video cards are compatible with Dell dimension E310 / 3100, whether geforce 5700 + or radeon 9500 + . I gather a gefore 5500 has be slotted in and brought to opertation, but BF2142 as well as other new games wont float that
Title: Re: Technical help requested Post by: WildShadow on October 28, 2006, 11:39:37 PM i did some looking around, and i've found that this lovely computer doesn't even have a slot for either AGP or PCI-E.
meaning, if you wanna play BF2 or BF2142, you need to buy a whole new system, WITH either an AGP or PCI-E slot, whichever version that 6600 you bought is Title: Re: Technical help requested Post by: Nightstalker on October 29, 2006, 12:39:00 AM well i realized that i did infact buy an AGP video card, where Dell claims it has a slot for the PCI or PC express, in which it does in fact show a slot for it. Just need to exchange it tomorrow. should hopefully fit
Title: Re: Technical help requested Post by: Hawkes on October 29, 2006, 05:05:46 AM Yes... should be PCI-Express... let me know if I can help at all.
Title: Re: Technical help requested Post by: WildShadow on October 29, 2006, 06:47:39 AM really? musta got the good one then, cuz every post i found about video cards and it were saying that it had nothing but PCI-E x1 and PCI slots, no PCI-E x16 and definitely no AGP.
Title: Re: Technical help requested Post by: Nightstalker on October 29, 2006, 10:03:23 PM yeah just a piece of fuck pci express 1 slot. and we know PCI has to be 16 to hold the big guns
