Gateway Sx2800 Video Card Upgrade
Gateway SX2800-01 has a 220W power supply, I would like to upgrade the graphics card. What would be the best?
I want to buy Gateway SX2800-01 add more RAM to 4GB, and get the Galaxy 9600 GT video card, low profile. The card has a minimum of 300W of power to the pc tower only has 220W there is a low profile card that is capable of around the same power as the 9600GT, but less power required? There is also a better supply of energy for Gateway SX2800-01?
Add 4GB of RAM? As you have now? Upgrading your RAM is 3GB is good, as most programs use more than 1GB and the other 1 GB for your system (especially Vista) * 4GB. only useful if your / your computer is 64 bit, if not he just sign up to 3GB or 3.5GB anyway. You can go for the 9800GT, the latest energy efficient version. ** The 220W is very low, a basic right of computer already uses about 120W or more without a graphics card. And a video card uses 110W or more. You need to upgrade your PSU 300W-350W is that you can energy efficiency 9800GT, ATI 4670, or any other low-power cards. *** I recommend that the 450W-400W. The extra power will be very useful if you plan to upgrade again, add a new hard drive, etc. Another reason, as a power source ages, will not be able to produce as much power. With a 450W – 500W, you have a variety of cards to choose from. Examples: Nvidia 9880GTX, 250/260 GTS, ATi 8800GTS/GTX 4850, 4870, 4890 Example: 2 + years could only produce 350W 320W. 4 / 5 + years; 300W. Important note: buy a power supply of a known, good quality brand such as: – Antec, Thermaltake, Corsair Good luck.
