Graphics card upgrade help?
I have a dell optiplex gx280 running Windows xp sp3. I want to install a graphics card I received it is ATI hd4670 I want to no if it would work on this system. Have a 450 power supply and available PCIe x16 slot available, don't know much about this kind of stuff but some say it MIGHT work. If not can someone recommend one that would, a good one.
thanks in advance

Yes. The 4670 WILL work with your computer.
You have a PCIe slot for the card and your power supply is sufficient.
I would go with the Radeon HD 4650 1GB I linked to below it would help an aging AGP system still play some not so current games. The card I am linking you to costs 74$ USD, and it is a whole lot cheaper than buying a new motherboard, cpu, ram and video card. If you are not on the cutting edge of gaming playing the most current games this card will serve you well. The guy stating AGP is the worst is actually pretty wrong. Standard PCI has a maximum data throughput of 132 MB/s which is a whole lot slower than AGP 8X's 2,100 MB/s. PCI-E 16X has a max of 4000 MB/s (8000 MB/s going both directions). AGP is not a bad slot it is aging but if you don't want to full out replace your whole computer an AGP card is still a decent option. Hope I helped you some. Ryan
I'm pretty sure the HD4670 is a PCIe card, so why don't you try it out? If your power supply is not "good" enough, upgrade it, then use the card.
A half decent 450w PSU will definitely push a 4670, as long as you don't have an absurd amount of peripherals.
It should work but that power supply is on the weak side.
Yes it will work. Email me if you want.
