this is what i have been looking at and it seems to fit my spec and price range

any thoughts or views on it would be great

thanks for putting up with this

well to be honest i would go for the 256mb version if you can stretch to it, you would see a noticeable improvement in performance

 

[michael 118]

ok 256 mb then

so either one of them should fit,have the necessary amount of power needed e.t.c ??

 

[PotGuy]

the agp 6600gt's all require a molex connector i believe, whereas the pci-e ones don't.

 

[michael 118]

..... this means what do i need then?

thanks for puttin up with this lol

 

[PotGuy]

lol no problem im not exactly a fountain of knowledge myself

basically all you do take a free molex connector from your power supply and plug it onto the card - you should have a few free inside.

they look like this:

oh and btw a molex power connector is required for any gamers card out atm. Some of the most powerful even need 2, so this is nothing unusual

k thanks

i should get the connector free with the card as it is in the budle, but couldnt i just use my previous connector??

 

[Me__2001]

on your power supply there should be a spare one, after you've fitted the card plug the spare connector into the graphics card

 

[michael 118]

yeah, i have ordered it and worked out where to plug in the card and power supply e.t.c.

thanks for all your help and i will get back to you to see if it has worked!!!
