i found that card on ncix canada http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php? ... e=SAPPHIRE
its the same card right?
it says that you need a intel processor, does the fact that i have a amd mean that it won't work on my computer. and it says you have to have a 300 watt power supply, how do i find out how many watts mine is? |

look at the power supply, and it should work with the amd, just check the mother board, thats usually the deciding factor

Yes, unless you want to prep the comp for any future updates, that will do.

What kind of computer do you have? Built it yourself? Bought a Dell? Any boxes or papers left on it? How old is it?
