GX620 Video question
Can someone tell me what kind of video card is supported by the GX620? I need to purchase a card that supports dual monitors (currently the computer only has the built-in vga port) and I need to know if I have to buy a AGP or PCIe. I've heard conflicting reports from trusted sources too. I believe it to have an AGP port, but can't find any information to confirm this.
Thanks!
Thanks!
- If you have a GX620, don't worry about AGP; the GX620 can't support AGP.
The GX150, 300, 240, 260, and 270 have an AGP slot.
The GX280, 620, 745, 740, and 320 have PCIe.
The only concern would be full height or half height. With a tower, either will fit.
I wouldn't recommend very high end cards, but most 1300, 16x0, 6x00 and 7x00 cards will probably work. - I appreciate everyone's help! I'm glad to be able to use this forum in order to find this kind of trivial information! I'm surprised that the actual specs aren't obvious from on the premier dell site though.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Thanks again! - I used a card almost identical to the one at the link below its low profile and fits GX620 SFF case.I did not purchase mine from Dell it was not available at the time.Now have a problem which started about six months after the card was installed both displays go blank after about five minutes XP continues to run and all case fans continue to run.If I remove the ATI X1300 and run a single display using the integrated graphics everything is fine.I'm cannot tell if the graphics card is bad or if its the small 275 watt power supply.

Do you have a tower model, or the desktop of small form factor? The latter one can only use half height cards. The desktop model could need half height cards or might be able to use full height if it has a PCIe riser (option for the desktop). The tower model can support full height cards.
