Is it possible to put this card in my computer because mine is about 2 years old. Here is some info about my comp:
3.07 GHz
1G of Ram
200G Hardrive
ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 Series
Please Help I dont know if my ATI RADEON is built in or not or i have enough power.|||Power shouldn't be an issue (the HD4670 uses very little and doesn't even have a dedicated power connector) but if you're really worried, get the 512mb version.
Having 1gb of VRAM isn't really useful for that card anyway- it only helps at really high resolutions like 1900x1200.
More GDDR3 memory increases a video card's power consumption, but even the 1gb version of the Radeon 4670 should be fine with a 350W psu. The 512mb version is happy with 300W units.
Card manufacturers usually overstate their power requirements a little, since they don't know what else customers have inside their computer cases. They are playing it safe by stating 400 watts. Here's a pretty comprehensive list of video cards' actual power usage:

The HD4670 pulls 47 watts, maximum. All you need is a PCI-E x16 slot.|||Yes, it should work, and it's a great choice.
Don't forget to disable (or set pci-e as primary) your onboard video from within the bios. The 4600 series cards do not need an external power connector, therefore you do NOT need a 500 watt psu. 400 watts is enough. (although a little more is always better!) I checked on the ati site and confirmed that > http://ati.amd.com/products/Radeonhd4600…|||hey tommy ! i think your mother board is the one based on
the dg102ggc2 or the dg101ggc from intel. as far as i have heard
it has a pcie-16 gen1 slot. Open your cabinet's side panel
and try to see a slightly recessed of a different color(usually blue or red). If you can find it , you can buy a radeon 4670 and use it
on your comp. Beware though a need an smps of 500W minimum
. I suggest antec or cooler master true or extreme power series !
Good Luck man !!!|||You have to open up the computer and see if you have a PCIex16 slot available. That would be the first step. If the computer is store bought like a dell, hp, compaq, or gateway you probably can't do it, but if you have a current video card and not an integrated video then you may be in luck.|||The Express 200 series is the chip set of your MB. Looks like you have a PCIe slot.. (black one) As long as you have about a 500w power supply you should be ok. You would do good to upgrade to at least 2gig of RAM. Get another 1gig that matches the one you have, or get a 2gig kit.
