Optiplex GX620 upgrading graphics
Hello! I have Dell Optiplex GX620 with integrated (poor) graphic card. I want to upgrade it and I was wondering could someone help me with few answers. After looking around, I concluded that GX620 supports PCI-E graphic cards. First of all I need to know is that true? Secondly, I have found a PCI-E graphic card which I want to buy. It is Sapphire Radeon X1950Pro. So... I was wondering is this card compatible with my GX620, and will I have any problems with running it? Also, is my power supply good enough for this card and whole system to run properly. Please, people... I really do not want to spend few hundred bucks for nothing. Thanks 4 your concern! :D Regards

The GX620 does have a PCIe slot. The chassis size plays a large role in what you can use though. Unless you have a tower, that 1950 will not work due to it's size. Even in the tower model it's close whether the powersupply can handle it (probably can, but it's close between the powersupply's power and the videocard's power requirements).
