Hi.
I bought my PC from PC Specialist in April 2007.
It has been working brilliantly for years, but now the graphics card has finally given up the ghost.
The card is a 768MB GEFORCE 8800GTX - which appears to not be available anymore (except maybe on eBay).
I would like to replace it with a more modern card, but I am concerned about getting a card that will definitely work with my current machine.
My specification is:
Processor (CPU) INTEL® PENTIUM® D 945 (2 X 3.4GHz) 800MHz FSB/2 x 2MB L2 Cache
Motherboard ASUS® P5N32-E SLI+: Quad-core CPU Ready, NVIDIA® Dual X16 SLI
Memory (RAM) 4096 MB CORSAIR DDR2 667MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY! (4x1GB)
Graphics Card 768MB GEFORCE 8800GTX PCI Express + DVI + TV-OUT
Memory - 1st Hard Disk 250GB SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7200rpm)
2nd Hard Disk 250GB SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7200rpm)
RAID NONE
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 16X DVD ROM WITH 48X CD ROM
2nd DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 20x DVD±RW/RAM/Dual Layer + Lightscribe (48 x CD-RW) (£17)
Memory Card Reader INTERNAL 57 IN 1 CARD READER (READS XD, MS, CF, SD, etc)
Power Supply 850W Quiet Five Rail PSU inc Case Fan & CPU Cooler (£149)
Sound Card 8 Channel SupremeFX High Definition Audio (P5N32-E SLI & STRIKER)
Network Facilities WIRELESS 108Mbps NETWORK CARD & 54Mbps ROUTER (£46)
USB Options 6 x USB 2.0 PORTS (4 REAR + 2 FRONT) AS STANDARD
Modem 56KBPS INTERNAL V92 MODEM
Can anyone advise which new card I could upgrade to, or should I replace like with like?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
