It has a 500 watt Dell powersupply. I figured that would be enough for an 8800 GTS or maybe even the 7950. Both seem like significant jumps over the 6800 I have. As far as the motherboard, I think I have the D- 830 which means its an LGA-775. I thought that would at least accept a core duo processor? The setup I have is out of an XPS which is more upgradable friendly than most of Dell's computer line. Either way, it's just a thought. Looking around I could probably build a computer that would kill mine for $800 or $900 so if I can't upgrade this will make a nice second computer.
