|  Planning to upgrade my Dell E521
Hello, I need to replace the original graphics card this computer came with after almost 2 years of suffering with it.
I am planning to get the ASUS EN9600GT, since it is single slot and I can't support a double slot card.
However, it does have a large fan on it, will this fit into my computer?
Also, it needs its own power supply, what wattage do I need for this card? I can't find this information anywhere  |

@qwest.net | Also, this is not the silent version of the EN9600GT, which is bigger. |

Your system is an athlon dual core model?
It should have a 305 watt supply which can probably handle a card like this.
Officially max is 95w. More than 75w is why it has an additional power connector.
Are you sure you are making the best choice for a graphics card? What game are you buying it for and what resolution are you wanting to run it at? |

@qwest.net | I play World of Warcraft, it's not too demanding of a game on high settings but my 3 year old card is having texture problems with it.
I play at a 1024x768 resolution. |

You might consider this 4670

It is probably cheaper then what you are looking at, performs about the same, and draws less power. |
