Will this graphics card be compatible with my pc?
I got a Dell Optiplex GX280 SFF, with Intel Pentium 4 HT @ 3.20GHz, Windows Vista Ultimate 32-Bit, 2gb of ram, with a ATI Radeon X300 Series, DirectX 9 right now. I want to put on a ATI Radeon HD 4550 Series graphics card. Will it work, or will it be compatible with my PC. There is one problem. I don't know how many watts is my power supply. So can I still install it even if the power supply is less than 300 watts?
Here is more info about the graphics card....

and if I buy the card is going to be like the one on the picture in the link.
Thanks

it will fit the slot but the power supply will not power it correctly
and since Dells PSU are very propritary you will not be able to just grab 1 off the store shelf as they are wired very weird
they will blow either the motherboard or the PSU
now the X300 is onboard so you will improve video but you'd be better off using a Video card that does not need to be plugged into the power supply

Need to know what kind of motherboard you have and how many watts your PSU is.
I want to say no, but stranger things have happened.
