EVGA GT220 Video Card 1GB NVIDIA Graphic DVI HDMI PCIe
So is the pci express 2.0 x16 and pci express the same thing? I currently have a dell dimension e520 and I am getting that graphics card - i have 305 PSU.
Thanks.|||PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-Express are the same thing.basically you say PCI-Ex16 2.0 where 2.0 stands for the version of PCI-E. PCI-E slot available in following types.
PCI-E x1
PCI-E x2
PCI-E x4
PCI-E x8
PCI-E x16
PCI-E x32
to put it simple,all latest graphics cards are using PCI-E x16 2.0 slot.here x16 is width of the PCI-E slot..so if your motherboard have
PCI-E x16 1.0 or 1.1 slot then also every PCI-E x16 2.0 card will work with your computer.this is due to the backward compatibility.most motherboards have PCI-E x16 slot so I guess you also have and so that GT 220 will work with your system.remember that 1.0,2.0 and 1.1 are versions of PCI-E they are not different.
I hope you understand.anyway,don't go with GT 220.instead of that go with ATI Radeon HD 4670
which gives more performance than GT220 and prices are same.as I said,that card will also work with your computer.|||No pci express is a general term for any type of pci. You have to look if both are x16.
