    Default Anyone know anything about video cards???

    I have a Dell studio slim 540s desktop and the graphics card sux balls. I need to upgrade but people at stores tell me I cant. I dont believe them.

    Anyone know any cards I can upgrade to that will fit my system? I have a 250w psu and Im pretty sure that I cannot upgrade that with this crappy desktop.

    PS.. never buy a SLIM desktop!

    Hey gametight I have a slim as well (530s). I heard the same thing how they won't fit so I bought an external one at sewelldirect.com that seemed to work well but honestly I rarely used it. I have then switched back to just one monitor and tried to sell it at 2+2 to no avail: Want to Sell Sewell External Video Card - General Marketplace -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

    If interested I'd sell it really cheap.

    gametight - please update the thread or PM me if you ever find a solution...would love to know of one. Two years ago I tried a bunch of options as Best Buy and none worked regardless of their "top IT" guy's suggestions.

    I did this...

    Newegg.com - Galaxy 96GFF6HVDCXX GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

    and

    SS-300TFX Seasonic SS-300TFX 300W 80PLUS BRONZE TFX Power Supply - Desktop Power Supply - SuperBiiz.com

    should work out I think
