Giving Nvidia 9600GT to a Friend
Ok so I'm gonna give an Nvidia 9600GT 512MB graphics card to my friend, but first I would like to know if his system is good enough to run it. He has a Dell XPS gen 4, 1GB of RAM, a Pentium 4 3.20GHz with Hyperthreading technology, and an Nvidia 6800 graphics card. That's the only things I know about his system, and I'm not sure about his power supply. So would his system be able to run an Nvidia 9600GT graphics card?

Hello Anpippin,
Yes, according to your friend's computer manual, he does have a PCI Express x16 slot on the motherboard that he can install the NVIDIA 9600GT in. He will also need to have at least a 400W PSU. 
Hope this helps,
Shawn

He will also need to have at least a 400W PSU with one PCI-E 4-pin power supply cable (not a 4-pin molex cable) to connect to the graphics card. Attachment 77942

LOL, you are correct. Sorry, I was had my old 9800 GT on my mind that required the connector.   | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

I think you'll be safe, I used to run the same card on a similar spec PC as my media center device and now it's in my Win 7 desktop..... I've been unable to kill it off. 
Check a wattage calculator first if you're concerned about the power supply.
..... and what a nice friend you are.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Hack job

The PC your friend has is what I had prior to upgrading. I ran 2 6800's in SLi and then changes to an MSI NX8800GTS which was factory OC'd and the RAM upgraded and it ran flawlessly, it required a power connector and I had the PC loaded so he should not have any problem running that card with his stock PSU. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DELL XPS Studio 435T
