I have a Dell studio slim 540s desktop and the graphics card sux balls. I need to upgrade but people at stores tell me I cant. I dont believe them.
Anyone know any cards I can upgrade to that will fit my system? I have a 250w psu and Im pretty sure that I cannot upgrade that with this crappy desktop.
PS.. never buy a SLIM desktop!

Hey gametight I have a slim as well (530s). I heard the same thing how they won't fit so I bought an external one at sewelldirect.com that seemed to work well but honestly I rarely used it. I have then switched back to just one monitor and tried to sell it at 2+2 to no avail: Want to Sell Sewell External Video Card - General Marketplace -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums
If interested I'd sell it really cheap.

no problem good luck. Slim definitely sucks when it comes to upgrading

gametight - please update the thread or PM me if you ever find a solution...would love to know of one. Two years ago I tried a bunch of options as Best Buy and none worked regardless of their "top IT" guy's suggestions.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I did this...
Newegg.com - Galaxy 96GFF6HVDCXX GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card
and
SS-300TFX Seasonic SS-300TFX 300W 80PLUS BRONZE TFX Power Supply - Desktop Power Supply - SuperBiiz.com
should work out I think
