I only have pci slots in my computer and i want to get the nvidea 8400 pci and my old video card that i have right now is 32bit and DDR and that one is 64bit and DDR2 will the new video card work?|||any pci card will fit in any pci slot, its a standard. But you do have to have a 64 bit OS in order to have a 64 bit videos card. So make sure and check that.
hope this helps
jake|||It will work. A PCI card will fit in a PCI slot, though make sure your power supply is adequate. Contrary to what the person above said you do not need a 64 bit operating system to run a 64-bit video card. The 64 bit part refers to the width memory bus. They also have 128, 256, 192, 448, and 512 bit cards. They don't have 256 bit operating systems.
Also the type of VRAM the card uses doesn't matter. For example ATI has cards with GDDR5 VRAM. But system RAM only goes up to DDR3. DDR3 cards will work with systems with DDR2 RAM.
The Geforce 8400 and 8500 for standard PCI are the best PCI based cards these days so go for it!|||You need pci express for most new video cards. You could just buy a cheap main board and move all your stuff to it.
