Hey there, I have recently been given a desktop computer by my parents (They both brought laptops).
Now this is a packard bell from 2007, pre made.
The specs are as follows -
Athlon 64 3800+ (2.4 GHz) (Single Core)
2GB DDR2 RAM (Support for 4GB)
Asus Motherboard - Asus M2NS-NVM
Integrated Video - NVIDIA GeForce 6100 GPU
Expansion Slots - 1x PCI Express 16X, 1x PCI Express 1X, 2x PCI
Windows Vista OS 32 Bit.
160GB HDD
So I want to get a graphics card for it, I have never had the money to fully make my own PC, so I guess upgrading this would be the next best thing - that is if it can be upgraded.
So knowing nothing about what I'm doing I have decided to come here for help.
I was looking at these graphics cards -
ATI Radeon HD 5570 1024mb GDDR3 PCI Express (2.1) Clicky
ATI Radeon HD 5670 512mb GDDR5 PCI Express (2.1) Clicky
NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 512mb GDDR5 PCI Express (2.0) Clicky
Now these cards are all around my price range (50 GBP - 75 GBP), there are more but I'm sure you don't want to trawl through loads of them, if you do then here is the site I was looking at (Clicky) As I said, 50GBP - 75GBP price range.
Now a good card which will work with my PC would be great, reccomend other cards if need be. I am looking to run games like Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Valve games.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
