Hi drummergrl,
Just check your power supply for output and connectors before you invest :-
"PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)" ATI Specs
I've been looking at the Radeon HD4850 but I need a bigger power supply since I have Athlone 64X2 4600+ 2.4GHz 3GB RAM Radeon X1600 1x 500GB SATA 1x 320GB SATA and 2 DVD drives. My measly 350 Watt needs upgrading.
Cheers
Adrian
