Is my computer compatible with BFG GeForce 7300 GT / 512MB DDR2 / AGP 8x video card?

my computer has:



Windows Xp pro 32 bit

intel celeron D cpu 3.46GHZ

memory: 512 ram

motherboard: MSI MS-7222

Power supply: 400 watt

Graphic card slot: Agp 8x



What worries me the most is the pwer supply. Do u think my 400 watt power supply can support this video card because someone on a forum said his video card can't work until he upgrade to 450 watt power supply while the minimun requirement on tigerdirect is 400 watt only.|||Blamay makes a good point. AGP no longer means Accelerated Graphics Port. It now means Aim for the Garbage Pile. If you MUST use AGP then the HD 4670 is the best one out there but having only half the bandwidth (and therefore speed) of even a PCI-Express v1.0 (and 1/4 of PCI-Express v2.0) even the Radeon HD 4670 won't cut it. And at the price of $110, you may as well set fire to your money. I'd recommend you get the following:

CPU ($56)

Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 Overclocked ($65)

|||your using agp 8x card . (which is a bit old) . 450w or more power will only be needed for greater performance vgas that are compatiable with pci express slots . since your card is agp its going to be orite .



for your knowledge i had a old computer about a year ago which i ran a 3 ghz lga intel processor , 2 gb ddr 2 ram , with a 8500 gt 512 mb pci express vga card with a 350 w power supply . so for your system i guess 400 w is more than enough . so no worries .|||Sure it will work. The question is, do you want to waste money on some old AGP card and motherboard to upgrade? I wouldnt consider it an upgrade to begin with. You cant make an old board do new tricks. If you are lookin to play the latest games, you wont do it with this set up
