Reply: (edit)Since it's only an x1050 you may be able to get away with it. What are the specs on your power supply? Gigabyte GA-K8NS

Reply: (edit)"sorry, i use it for games..." Uh, that was my point. The X1050 isn't much of a gaming card, especially if it's the 64-version or one that uses HyperMemory. You could have done much better.

Reply: (edit)i will upgrade it when i get the money to spare but what i was asking is your opinion on whether or not my system will support it. I also installed a pci creative xtreme gamer soundcard, they both seem to be running fine, but i would like to know for sure, i just bought the whole system. thanks -CG

Reply: (edit)If the card doesn't have its own fan, it will probably get hot to the touch, however it's a good idea to add a case fan if there isn't one in place already. The x1050, while a weak gaming card, is better than your onboard video, and I'm guessing that's all you were really going for. Gigabyte GA-K8NS

Reply: (edit)yes thats all i was going for, none of my games have compatibility problems anymore, its working fine and everything, and if i'm not mistaken, the card does have a fan on it. Thanks for the help -CG
