HI ALL,
Ok, I just got a new Dell Optiplex GX620...... how gay u may say......well ur right
I got it for like 500 buks so it seemed like a good idea at the time. K so it came with

SPEKS:
2gig ddr2 ram (i think its ddr2)
250gig hdd (dont know the rpm how do i find that out?)
Dual core pendium D 2.80gHz
and the last and defenatly least......
u guessed a 256mb intel express family 82945g chipset onboard or sumthin



now what i wanted to know is if u can put a diferent graphics card in it because im about to throw the computer against the wall (which is easy cos i have the small form one with a handle) <<<< now y say that u ask.... well becouse it is a small form i couldnt fit a ****in penny in there cos it has all it can possably handle which is even gayer so is it possible to put a new gfx card in or upgrade or external one or somthing......... please help......

( also i would like to be able to play crysis with the new gfx card if that makes any difference)



CHEERS GUYS & GIRLS
 
Since you say u have a small case and u wanna play crysis, i'd recommend ya to chnage the case and buy a 8800GTS 320mo (if u dont have money for the 8800, go for an 8600).
 
You can't transplant Optiplex's into new cases. I have a slimline one sitting next to me and it uses a different form factor on the motherboard itself and the power supply is also unique to the Optiplex. A shopping list would consist of:

New case
New power supply
Something to get the Optiplex board to fit in a standard ATX case.
