As long as your PSU is 300W, you should be fine (Technically one as low as like 210W could be fine...but that's really pushing it).

Your PCI-E slot is 2.0 in case you were wondering. So that's good to go.

 

[swifty_morgan]

yes, it will fit.

yes the PSU that i have is 350 W already installed but on the website it says that the card needs at least 400W PSU. so should i buy a new PSU ?

And one other thing, i have ddr2 can i install like ddr3 cuz ddr2 rams are more expensive than ddr3. and will it run ??

As far as memory type, you are limited to what the motherboard supports.

[swifty_morgan]

you don't need another power supply.

this is the memory your board supports..............DDR2 667 MHz or DDR2 800 MHz SDRAM DIMMs

 

[Dasa94]

So i shouldn't replace the power supply then ? i dont want that if i run it on this card it'll screw my card or anything 😀

You don't need a new power supply. If your hd 4650 was able to run on it just fine, then there won't be a problem with the hd6670. The HD6670 uses <10W more than the hd 4650.

I have a 6670 and rarely exceed 1 GB on it. I would just stick with 1 GB unless you have a reason for more.

 

[fudoka711]

Go for the 1gb ddr5 version if you can. There is a decent performance gap between it and the 2gb ddr3 version.
