Supaflies Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Ok, Ive finally saved up enough to fix the Dell I broke a while back. The processor will be a Celeron D 2.6GHZ, a 1GB stick of PC2700 ram, and am thinking of getting a geforce 6600 for it...Specs for it can be found here:http://www.buyxg.com/store/item.asp?key=VC-135-216 It says "BUS PCI-e x 16", to my understanding that is the PCI speed, I was wondering if that meant my pc would have to be "BUS PCI-e x 16"...Ive tried to find out what my "pci speed" is on my Dell but I cant seem to find it anywhere, would that be compatible with the Dell Dimension 2400 that I have? Thanks alot, Supaflies BTW:If your curious about my other products that I will be buying, you can find the ram here:http://www.digi4me.com/product.php?productid=462 And the Processor here:http://www.starmicro.net/detail.aspx?ID=48 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of graphics from lowest to highest it goes as follows. PCI, AGP, PCI-Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supaflies Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Just found out that PCIE is not compatible with my system, so Im going with the Geforce FX5700LE, which you can see here:http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=14-139-166&depa=1.

Eldmannen Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Only new-computers have PCI-E (PCI Express) which is becoming the new standard and taking over AGP and PCI (ISA is already dead long ago). Celeron is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) from Intel that is a low-cost budget processor. Pentium is their good processor. But if you ask me, then AMD makes both faster and cheaper processors than Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Sorry, didnt pay attention to the thread date. I rarerly do, I am used to fast forums where threads dont stay on the first page for more than a few hours. I like how you refer me to a "thread necromancer", it surerly does got a nice clang to it.
