[QUOTE="Croesus, post: 5937919, member: 35019"] I have a 2 1/2 year old Dell desktop and the graphics card fan is dying. The graphics card market has changed quite a bit since I used to tinker with PC's, so I'm looking for some guidance and recommendations. Current specs: Dell Studio XPS 8000 Win7 Home 64 bit 2.66GHZ multicore processor 4GB DDR2 SDRAM nVidia GeForce GTS240 1GB GDDR3 (PCI Express?) I'd like to find a card that has comparable or better performance, but not break my bank account. Basically, something middle of the pack. Any recommendations? Also... Question: How do I confirm this is a PCI card and/or PCI card slot? Question: Any difference between a PCI and PCI Express slot? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
