Hi. I have a nvidia 6200 Turb cache but i dont want it anymore and i want to know if a ati raedon x1300 512mb for £90 is good for the money. AND. my card atm is pci express and he ati is pci expresss so can i have it put in or not. cause can you take out the old card and put the ati x1300 in to replace it and can i put a fan on the card to keep it cool?
You'll get better performance for your money with a Geforce 7600 GT (or a cheaper GS) for not much more than £100. Try these cards: 7600 GT, £150 inc. VAT quite expensive but excellent performance for a mid-range card. 7600 GS, slower than the above, but only £90.
basically just swap grfx cards in your system (but watch the little springy clip thing (usually towards the front of your pc) if you don't have an anti static thing, just touch an exposed metal part of the pc's case aboute once every minuite of so
Installing the card shouldn't be any trouble, you just have to be careful with static. From experience its better to be safe and buy a cheap anti-static wriststrap, attach it to the metal case and don't wear any material that can cause a huge build up of static. i.e. fleece. You just take our your current card from the PCI-E slot and put the new one in. Same interface, and shouldn't be a problem. Connect the power to it and boot up. Install the drivers and off you go.
