Time to upgrade Video Card, need a little help

What games are you looking into playing? Better yet, are there any games in the future that look interesting to you?

6600 GT card should be all that you need for that older Dim 4300 system.  Cost around $135.00 on up, depending on the card manufacture.   You will need to hook up a molex Y cable from the back of the video card and the other end to a power connector either from the power supply or an extra connector next to the cdrw or dvd drive.  Some cards come with the molex cable and some do not.

Another card that you might want to get, but less game capable is the 6600 card, which is still better than what you have now.  Both of these cards will work with the stock 250 watt power supply you have, or just upgrade that as well if you wish

Dim 4400
2.6 Ghz 400 FSB
1 Gb 2100 DDR memory
Windows XP Home
17 inch 1703 FP monitor
XFX 7800 GS O/C AGP
48x CDRW
16x DVD-R
410 watt ( PcPower&Cooling )

Is there much of a difference between the 6600 and the 6600GT?  Is that an NVidia Card?  I have to admit that I dont know what a Molex Y cable is.  Do I have an adequate power supply for it? And how complicated is it?

Thanks for you help

thank you much

I, and many others have or had this 6600 GT card using our stock 250 watter without problems.  Try to leave a pci slot next to the card empty for better cooling.  Our stock 250 watter is the mean average as has been reported by a Dell Moderator and the peak power is around 345 watts.   If you add a lot of other hardware ( Optical drives, hard drives ) to your system, then you might need a power supply upgrade.  I also ran a X800GTO card, more power hungry than the 6600 GT card on my 250 watter without issues.  One member has the better 7800 GS card on his 250 watter.  You should be fine.  If not, its easy to upgrade the power supply later.  Good luck

thanks again for the great help
