HI guys, I am planning to add a Entry level graphic card to my HP pavilion a6340in PC.
Earlier I had the HD 5570 in mind but since its unavailable at my current location right now i had to switch to HD560.I have narrowed onto the ATI Raedon HD 5670 1GBDDR3 and the Nvidia GT 440 1GBDDR which comes under my budget.
My computer is 4 years old. here are its specifications:
Intel Core2DUo E4500 2.2Ghz
Windows Vista Starter 32 Bit
1GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB HDD. The problem is i cannot upgrade my 300W PSU and chose these cards as i heard they run in 300W PSU. However i just want to confirm with you guys .
Here are the PSU specifications:
HIPRO HP-D3057F3H
These were the texts written on the PSU unit:
DC output:
+5V= 25A, +12V= 19A,
+3.3V= 18A, -12V=0.8A, +5VSB= 2A.
+5V and +3.3V shall not exceed 175W.
+6V and +12V shall not exceed 268W.
in addition my Cabinet has one fan and a heat sink for the processor. Please let me know if both the GT440 and HD5670 are capable of running in my 300W PSU with the above specifications.
Also i heard that these graphic cards require PCI express16x 2.0 slot. I saw my specifications and found that it has a PCI express 16x slot but i dont know if its 1x or 2x. please let me know about it and if these graphic cards run on my system.
here is the link to my system specifications:
