Hey guys im new to the whole computer hardware thing so i have a quick question.
I currently have a Asus M3A78-EM Mother Board
With a AMD Anthlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.61ghz
A Geforce 8600 GT 256Mb
And 2Gb Ram
On Windows Xp 32 Bit
*EDIT* My power Supply is a Antec "Earthwatts" 500 Watts
I was wondering if my computer is capable of upgrading to a Galaxy - GeForce GT 520 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Galaxy+-+GeForce+GT+520+1GB+DDR3+PCI+Express+2.0+Graphics+Card/2344226.p?id=1218322060851&skuId=2344226&st=graphics%20card&cp=1&lp=4 and if it is, is it worth the $72
I will also be adding 2Gb of ram for a total of 4Gb which is the absolute max i would want in 32bit from what ive read.
Summary: Am i capable of upgrading to a GeForce GT 520 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 with my current mother board, and if so IS IT WORTH $72
Thanks for the help
