How can I test and see which graphics cards are compatible with my computer?

In Windows XP, you can find everything you need to know by going to Start > My Computer > and click on View System Information under System Tasks on the left hand side.

with $1500 i would suggest you buy a new dell computer. you can get a really nice one with that money.

I've got about $100 to spend on a graphics card, and I'm wondering if it's worth getting a graphics card for my Dell Dimension 4600 to replace the integrated one (and if it's even possible).
I know it's a terrible machine but I haven't got a job and it does what I need it to do for the most part, just running a little faster with games (eg. WoW, BFME, Generals, games like that)

Go on to this website it test your computer to see if it has the Requirements just choose the game you want to play on the list (it should be there)and it will tell you if you can play the game or not will also display your ram card ect..
Can You RUN It?

whats ur current video card?

coudl a 2.4ghz macbook run Call of duty for with the intel x3100 integrated graphics card running on lowest settings? and will it play it well on low settings? and i could put 4gbs of ram in it if it makes a difference.

I would like to find out my computer's specs (viz. processor, RAM and graphics card). I thought right clicking on my desktop window would give me a "Properties" option, but it does not. Can someone please inform me of other methods to attain my comp's specs? Any help would be appreciated.
PS. I am using Windows Vista.

Thanks

I have recently bought an XFX GeForce 8800 GS and am trying to fit it. It came with a molex to pci-express adapter, like the one pictured here http://www.atxpowersupplies.com/imag...er-350x350.gif , but the graphics card also came with a warning card saying "XFX does not support the use of 4-pin to 6-pin power cable converters for these graphics cards. They are designed to work with high performance power supplies with 6-pin PCI Express power connectors."

My power supply doesn't have any power connectors I don't recognise, they're all the normal white bulky ones, although I don't know what a PCI-E power connector looks like (sorry I've only recently returned to PC building and am a bit clueless about the latest technologies)

Surely if they didn't want me to use the molex to pci-e adapter they wouldn't have supplied it in the box? So my question is, will using it damage my graphics card?

How do i ifnd out what typ eof hardware i have on my computer?

You can usually find it in the system itself, but I prefer to use a system analyzer, a free one is at the link
