So I got a Dell PowerEdge 600sc for free from my school and I wanted to use it for gaming but it only comes with 8mb built in video memory. While I figured it would be that low since it is a server and not a gaming computer I wanted to buy and install a new video card but after doing research I don't know what would be compatible for the server and still be good for some of the newest games. Help Please?|||Aint a whole lot of sense putting ANY card in it. You wont be gaming on it anyway with that meek processor.|||Forget about upgrading the video card. The reason you were given that PC is because it is so outdated. A Pentium 4 2.4 GHz (at best) cpu won't handle most modern games, and the video system was never intended for gaming.

That server has no video card slot (AGP or PCI-Express), so the best you could possibly add to that system is a very low powered, non gaming level, PCI (not express) video card.

I forgot to mention - the 250W stock power supply wouldn't support any kind of gaming video card either.|||Here are the specs from Dell: http://www.dell.com/home?dgc=CJ&cid=4350…
A 250w power supply and only PCI slots won't get you much of a video card and definitely not for newer games. Also, it takes ECC memory ($$$).
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but better to know now than later?|||if it has a PCI-e slot then more or less any recent video card will be supported
however u must see about ur power supply, it's no good getting a
card if u don't have the juice to run it :P
if it's 5-600 Watts with 6/8pin connectors should be right to run just about anything|||Don't it's a waste of time and money. The processor and RAM is probably very low to run any games. Still with a decent video card you will not get very far with a server computer. Tell me the specs.
