Yes, I have a PCI-E slot. PC World simply confirmed what I saw earlier when I opened my computer case to install the new rams.
According to specs listed by
PNY,
Minimum System Requirements:
Intel® or AMD® compatible motherboard
At least 512MB system RAM
A minimum 300W system power supply
A PCI Express® compliant motherboard
50MB of available hard disk space
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP
VGA or DVI-I compatible monitor
That I believe should be the same for all Geforce 8500GT's regardless of whether it's the version manufactured by PNY, EVGA, XFX or some other manufaturer.
Given that information, I can simply install the gfx card with no worries and i'm good to go? Of course, if my PSU doesn't provide enough watts, I run the risk of burning out my motherboard. That's all I'm concerned about.
