Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum, but I've already gotten some very useful info from it.
I have an HP Z800 from 2009. I am about to tear it apart for an upgrade, which will include Win 7, two new processors, more memory, and a new graphics card.
According to PartSurfer and QuickSpecs, the machine can run an Nvidia Quadro (FX) 4000 2GB. I'm a mechanical engineer who models assemblies in SolidWorks. I do 3D renderings and animation of the stuff I design in Blender and Keyshot. So I bought a new Dell Nvidia Quadro 4000 PCIe 2.0x16 2 GB GDDR5 card.
For reference the CT label on the motherboard is SP# 461437-001 / AS# 460838-001: it can only run the Nehalem Intel 55xx processors, which I will be upgrading.
My question: Are there gonna be any be any incompatibility problems with a new board in an old box?
Thanks in advance,
Walter
