Graphics cards

Courtjester1 · 10-24-2006, 03:48 PM

Alright, I have a Dell Dimension 5150 and I--retardedly--picked a small graphics card to be put in, so I am buying a new one, It's a Radeon X1600 Pro 512MB But what I am wondering is if Dells support Saphire, I have a buddy with the same PC I do and he says he think that Dells are Asus. Anyone?

So long as the video card you picked up is PCI Express (not AGP) you will be fine. While Dell will not officially support the card themselves if you put it in, it is still compatible regardless if it's a Sapphire or Asus brand.
