Question 1

Is this card supported by Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

I don't have Windows 7, but I read reviews where some complained that the card was not supported. There was, however, one person who stated his worked fine with Windows 7 and everyone else just needed to learn how to use the operating system.

Question 2

Will this work with an old Dell Dimension 3000? Thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

It should work because I have a Dimension 4500 and that isn't much younger.  Because most motherboards made after Jurassic Park was filmed back in 93' have PCI slots you shouldn't have a problem with this card, especially if the computer is younger than 10 years old. Just remember to install the video drivers they provide or use the ones on their website.

Question 3

I need to know if this will allow me to power to vga monitors?

Accepted Answer

When I used it on my old HP computer with Windows XP 05' it worked fine on the monitor that uses the old D-Sub socket on the first HD flat screens with VGA. The package includes a DVI to D-Sub converter for older monitors. If not, there is D-Sub to HDMI converters out there to power it up if you have HDMI ports.

Question 4

What are the dimensions, specifically height ? Trying to fit to a near-low profile desktop PC

Accepted Answer

The height of the card is about 3 and 15/16 inches measured from the top of the PCI slot to the top of the card. The length is 6 and  5/8 inches. The thickness of the card to the top of the heat sink is about 5/8 of an inch

Question 5

do I install the drivers before installing the card?

Accepted Answer

It is always a good idea to install the drivers before shutting down to install the video card or just about any other hardware or peripherals. That way Windows will already have the appropriate drivers and won't try installing its own generic drivers.

Question 6

is this will fit into old pci slot? and support dual monitors?
thank you.

Accepted Answer

I am using this card in a Dell from 2004 with a PCI slot and current configuration is 3 monitors -- 2 on this card and one on the on board video.  Hope that helps!

Question 7

Is this card supported by Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  We have it installed in some Dell computers running Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise Edition.

Question 8

Will this graphics card fit a Dell Dimension 2400? Please reply asap.

Accepted Answer

If I remember the Dimension 2400 from about 2004, it had 3 PCI (not PCI-e) slots and took full-height cards. If that is what you have, this card will fit fine in one of the PCI slots. This is one of the few cards currently available that works in older systems with no available AGP slot.

Question 9

What is the minimum power requirement?

Accepted Answer

The box says 300W, but for non-intense 3D gaming 225-250W.  If you are going to game with it, you will want to have a 300W PSU.

We are using it to power a manufacturing production tester that had the PCIe slots dedicated to control Agilent switch matrix PXI chassis.

Question 10

will it work with windows 7 ultimate?

Accepted Answer

Works great on windows 7. You should not have a problem with it working on windows 7 ultimate. If you should have a problem Nvidia should have the correct drivers. I don't think you will have a problem. The card has worked great for me.
