Solve : I need some help with my computer?

Answer»

So I have some questions. My knowledge of computers are limited. I just recently purchased a Dell computer. I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX video card and I was wondering if it would be over kill to add a second video card just like it and if so is it possible to add a Ageia PhysX physics accelerator chip? If its not over kill, then I would like to add another graphics card just like it. I'm not sure that would be possible with the mother board I have. I also enclosed a couple of pictures showing what I am working with.

OS: Vista Ultimate
Intel Core 2 Duo PROCESSOR E6700 (4MB L2 Cache,2.66GHz,1066 FSB)
2GB Dual CHANNEL DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 2 DIMMs
500GB Performance RAID 0 (2 X 250GB SATA 3Gb/s 7200 RPM HDDs)
768MB nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX
SOUND Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeGamer (D) Sound Card

No problem at all. That's why I'm here.

Bad idea, but go on

It would be overkill unless you have a 30" monitor.
In 6 months, sure. But right now, you really don't need it.

And I'm not sure why you want it, but if you can afford a nother 8800 GTX, why didn't you buy a DELL PC with two of those babies already in there?

No. Those are horrible. NEVER buy those.

I'm sorry, but what from what I can see from the pictures, it is NOT possible to add another graphics card.
It would have been a better idea to have bought two of those already in there.
Or, better yet, to have just not bought a pre-built PC at all.

If you give me the model number of the PC, I can give you a difinitive asnwer, but I'm about 90% sure at this time.

It's not a huge loss though. You have a top-end PC.

Enjoy it.
