and i have a (WinFast A340 TDH NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 GPU)

360306 2005-06-01 09:33:00 the fx5200 will be a 4x/8x graphics card and your mother board is also 4x/8x too, so it will work. but just wondering what is your psu? Prescott (11)

360309 2005-06-01 10:00:00 it will work easy, but with a nice setup like that, wouldnt you like to get a better graphic card? one that is more powerfull or are you not a gamer? what do you want to do with this system? Prescott (11)
