Need an inexpensive PCIe-16 card that won't tax the PSU on a Dimension E520 and that can run Windows 7 (ideally 64-bit). Should this do the job?

That's the reason I bought this card I have a MB with only one PCIe X1 slot and no video card The OS it's windows home server 1Only using VGA out And it work of the box (I do not research for your MB specs)Cheers

As long as there isn't anything else already in the PCIe x16 slot and your not drawing an enormous amount of power from the Power Supply for some reason then it should .

Yes, this card requires an open PCIe X16 slot. As long as they are following IEEE standards (which if they were not, nothing would work for this motherboard), it should be fine.

Hi Paul, Yes, the card will work with Windows 7. This is a PCI card, so you will need to insert it in a free PCI slot on the mother board. Then, when you turn on your PC, Windows 7 should automatically detect the new card and download any new drivers that are need for it. In addition, there are free drivers available from the EVGA website. Good luck. Dave Stepaniak

I believe so... The card doesn't need it's own power supply, so you should be good. It does require the pci-e slot on your board.

Yes, this will run in the optiplex, however it will be limited to due to your PCIe slot only being 1.0, but it should work.

Honestly man there is probably others that are more than this but as far as this being the least expensive I don't know. Maybe if you wanted to go the legacy route and use a PCI-X quad port with those features which should cost less than this. There is probably some are less but you just have to shop around. If you are going to buy this you need to add the drivers for this card to a custom esxi iso. 5.5 Is not configured with the drivers for this card out of the box just a heads up if you hadn't found out yet.

Yes. It will work fine with the basic windows drivers also. Though I would be more worried if you have the slot for this card. If this is a newer computer you might want to make sure you have an available PCI slot to put this in.

Yes it supports windows 7 that's what am using but 64 bits instead and if your going to spend the money and buy this motherboard i would go with a better ram something like Corsair ddr3 2000mhz 8gb if not your system will be slow but that also depends on your processor speed as well.

Pciex1 is the slot I used. Worked fine in win 7 now using with win 8, no problems

Well, according to Tom's Hardware user forum, yes it is: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/382646-33-pcie-backward-compatible. For the second question, I would suggest you go to the EVGA website and look up the specifics... I put a Corsair 650w in my computer a long time ago, and haven't worried about it too much - thought with all the HD's I've put in recently, I may want to switch to an 850w. Antec and Sesonic make good power supplies also.

Yes,this card will work fine with windows xp 32bit.Hopefully you have at least a 550w power supply though.

I am not the expert, but my research indicates that yes, this will run in a PCI-E slot. You won't get the same throughput, however.

It's possible; I have not tested the card on any Windows systems, unfortunately. It is a "legacy" card. But, there may be support for it under Win7 64-bit. Look at the Microsoft Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility List on Microsoft's Website. I hope that helps. Another option is to look at online forums for user-developed drivers.

It was my experience that AGP cards will not run in Windows 7. If they have created a driver for this, it's a good basic card.

No. It's a PCI slot card. As long as you have a PCI slot, you're good to go.
