Upgrading Video Cards
Today while I was out helping mom with her shopping, we decided to try and upgrade all the video cards in the house to help run games better (lolwow). We went to Best Buy and bought 2 BFG GeForce 9500 GT 1 Gig Video Cards. Now I'm usually savvy about this stuff, but when it comes to power supplies, I'm a bit "bleh".
I was curious if these two types of PCs could handle the video cards and if not (short of having to "build good ones") what I would have to upgrade on them to run these cards. PC 1: Compaq SR2013WM Athlon 64 3800+ 512MB 160GB DVD±RW XP MCE Compaq RE468AAR SR2013WM PC 2: eMachines Official Site - - W3507 Product Details Now the second PC I have a ATI Radeon X1300 in it and want to upgrade to the GeForce. So question would be would I be able to install the cards on these just fine or would I have to go back and buy some new power supplies. If it's the latter then expect me being a noob and asking what kind of and how to install a Power Supply. Jam it back in, in the dark.
