    Upgraded graphics card?
    « on: April 19, 2011, 11:57:51 PM »
    Hey guys I recently received a Dell dimension E521 and was wondering what a good and cheap graphics card would be that's compatible. I'll also be upgrading to 2.5 gb of RAM. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Best way is to find out what your motherboard is, after a quick search i found this, it should be useful. It tells you about graphics cards and memory.

    Any PCI-E graphics card that does not need a PCI-E 6 or 8 pin power expansion will do.
