Hello, I am a new member to these awesome boards and had a question to all you guru's out there. I have XPS 630i I purchased from Dell a few years back.
System info:
Dell XPS 630 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz Desktop
4GB1 Corsair® DOMINATOR® Dual-Channel DDR2 SDRAM
9800GT x2 SLI
750w Power supply
Windows 7 64 bit.
1680x1050 res
I am going to replace the video cards as one is no longer working. I am looking to play the game Rift, and as the PCI-E only runs at 8x on this chip I was wondering what my best options are. I was thinking of running a Nvidia 450 x2 SLI but I'm not real sure if my power supply can handle it, or if I have enough pins to run them correctly.
As you can probably guess I'm not real tech savy, any help would be very appreciated.
Also should I look at getting different/more ram? I am looking to maximize this system for as cheap as possible. $200-300 max spending.
Thanks!
