Older Computer - Newer DVI monitor - how to use wide screen 16x9

Glad the new card worked out well

As for the recommended power for your rig as is, go here and fill in the boxes. This a very accurate if the input info is correct.

Cheers,

JayBG, I'm glad your machine, with new graphics card, is now doing most of what you hoped. A much celebrated, though mythical, fellow by the name of Salvor Hardin once said: "To succeed, planning alone is insufficient. One must improvise as well." You have improvised and succeeded. However, I agree with Lee who urges you to investigate the sufficiency of your power supply. Power supply is the foundation of your machine. And generally speaking, you are using older hardware and an older operating system to handle ever increasing and more complicated software applicaitons and processes. Your present machine may handle all that you wish for the next couple of years, at which time you will be faced with upgrading due to end-of-life-cycle of Windows XP. I'm happy for your present success, and happily encourage you to begin thinking about your future next rig. Best Regards
