Title: Re: Seeking video card Post by: daitmar on December 27, 2011, 10:18:14 AM pci.... as a matter of fact any1 should b ok :ia: cause ma board uses both slots
question ? i got a pci 1 yesterday (no cds) installed it and nothing :( monitor don't pic it up o anything (am assuming that means it aint working) cud this b t he case or do i need to install something? dont know the name or brand....not even getting through to the bredda i got it from Title: Re: Seeking video card Post by: earlybirddisco on December 27, 2011, 08:41:23 PM 1. since you said your board uses both i assume it has a agp and pci slots not pci-e.
2. usually when you install a agp or pcie board it will take over from the onboard without any change in cmos not usally the case with pci cards. 3. attach monitor to the onboard card and enter cmos and change the default card to pci. 4. take out the video card and look at whats written on it and do a web search should be able to identify it an and locate driver. 5. if you boot from onboard card system should detect new device and ask for drivers if it doesnt then possibly card is faulty. 5. an agp card would give you better performance than a pci card Title: Re: Seeking video card Post by: daitmar on December 29, 2011, 01:40:34 AM 1. since you said your board uses both i assume it has a agp and pci slots not pci-e. 2. usually when you install a agp or pcie board it will take over from the onboard without any change in cmos not usally the case with pci cards. 3. attach monitor to the onboard card and enter cmos and change the default card to pci. 4. take out the video card and look at whats written on it and do a web search should be able to identify it an and locate driver. 5. if you boot from onboard card system should detect new device and ask for drivers if it doesnt then possibly card is faulty. 5. an agp card would give you better performance than a pci card Thanks......very informative....will check it out. seperate and apart from that...any1 have any sellin ???

Title: Re: Seeking video card Post by: earlybirddisco on December 29, 2011, 07:52:54 PM Confirm if your machine is using an onboard video card if it is then check that it has either a pci-e, or agp slot.
can supply a agp card with tv out for $1500. matter of fact check the model number and revision of the board then do a google search and determine exactly what socket you have if you are not sure.
