Yes it can, it is just a generic fitting that manufacturers stick on loosely. Your MOBO will have one to replace it, with all the plugs & socket holes are in the correct place. I have just made a PC, Gainward 7900GT 256MB PCI- express & 3700 Athlon, just like yours. To say it flys is an understatement! I prefer Nvidia, due to better driver support.
Well, I had considered going with nVidia's SLI stuff, but I the problem was my budget would only support 1 real good video card, or 2 crappy one's [for SLI]. I went with the ATI card, friends helped me choose. But thanks for your input.
Hey, Chipps i am getting a 4.0 pentium D. "2.6" but right know i have an 2.2 3700.. and they work really well as for the video it will do you fine
Well, I had considered going with nVidia's SLI stuff, but I the problem was my budget would only support 1 real good video card, or 2 crappy one's [for SLI]. Sorry to say but many of vVidia's cards kick the crap out to ATI a good card in the 6800 series, very good price and still slightly better than most ATI's, and many are SLI ready.
Not true.. At All.... check toms for benchmarks.. the ati cards are a better value.. such as 512mg of ram with 256bit for 130.00 ofer at newegg.. X600..... so chips... good luck buddy...
ignore basic ram on graphics cards it's misleading it's the bandwidth you need to look at how fast can it deliver the goods not how much itcan store
