6600GT for Dimension 4550
I have a dell dimension 4550 and i want to play Battlefield 2 on it. I upgraded my ram already to 1GB (PC2700). I know that i need a decent video card but i only can spend around $100 on it. Im looking at getting the Nvidia 6600GT from tigerdirect.com that only costs $110. Will this card work in my computer? Heres the link to the card.

It will work. I installed a new 6800 in my 4550 last month and the card works great with the stock power supply.

I upgraded my 4600 with a Leadtek 6600 GT - works awesome! PcMark05 went of 10X!! (from my old Fx5200 lol )
No prolem with my 250w PSU.
I went with the Leadtek 'cause it seems to run cooler (from reading thousands of post on the web) , it comes with a cool WinFox program for tweaking/monitoring the card, came with 2 bundled games, and the molex power cable. (was torn between Leadtek and eVGA)

Yes., it's a very good inexpensive gaming card for your PC Specs and budget. Battlefield 2 is one of the more demanding games on the market right now and you might have to run it at low detail and 1024X768 or 800X600 in game resolution. It will install in your PC just fine.
