PCIe Problem solving

[Jay_Gregs]

I'm wandering whether or not if I buy a computer (With a pre-installed 1GB graphics card), that says on the website that it has:
- PCIe (x1) x 3
- PCIe (x16) x 1
; whether or not I can install another graphics card onto that as well as the other one to increase the Graphics card memory total.

And whether or not its worth it...

I'll be new to gaming on a computer but I know that if I want to play the more recent games, that 1GB is not enough.

To harness the combined power of two GPUs you must first of all have a computer whose motherboard supports either AMD's CrossFire technology or Nvidia's SLI technology (some boards support both, some support one or the other, whilst some support neither).

Please post the URL of the specific PC you are thinking of buying so I can check it's specification.

Unfortunately your computer wont support dual graphics cards, as you need at least 1x pcie 8x and 1x pcie x4 for crossfire.

You are better off removing the current card and putting in a better one.
