I'm a new sim player with a graphics question

[AaronEdmondson84]

Wow I may have just answered my own questions here. I been doin alot of research and it looks like my inspiron 570 has 1 slot for a pci-express x16 graphics card. the system also comes with a 300 watt power supply.

the 4870 wont fit cause it needs 2 open x16 slots.

...But the HD 4850 will fit cause it only needs one!

lil problem is I would need to get a bigger power supply, exactly a 450watt or higher with a pci-express x16 hookup on it. runs close to a hundred bucks for that and a lil over a hundred for the 4850 card.
Lol I guess getting some more graphics isnt so easy. I wonder how hard it is to change a power supply....

So you said that the 4850 will max out the sim at 1640x 1050.
Thats excellent news.
You mentioned something about AAx2 and I dont know what that meens. would you mind elaborating on that.
I think through research and your suggestions (thanks) I am able to make my choice on the 4850.
