Hiya Gang
I have a Dell Precision 670 workstation, which I am trying to beef up to be a gaming PC.
It currently has :
Xeon 3ghz processor.
2GB Ram
Support for PCI-Ex16 Graphics card, up to 150Watts.
650Watt power supply.
I am looking to get an 8800GTS 640mb card, so i'm a bit more future proofed, for playing crysis, and bioshock.
I allso want to get another 3hgz Xeon processor, as they are going for a resonable price now.
My question is this. With my upgrades, will the power supply be big enough?
Also, will I have to make any cooling considerations with the 8800GTS. Currently, the Dell has different cooling compartments for the processors, so heat is quite minimal inside the case.
If anyone has one of these workstations as a gaming PC, please lemme know how it performs. I wanna know if its worth me spending extra on this Dell, or just building again from scratch.
Cheers!
