10/9/2007 12:27:57 AM

A tiny bit vague. Any specific/lowest req card? PCI-E? ect

10/9/2007 12:33:09 AM

pretty sure i dont have pci-e

i need pci

10/9/2007 12:44:31 AM

if its a new computer and doesnt have an agp slot, i can almost guarantee it has a pci-e slot

10/9/2007 1:14:37 AM

...

10/9/2007 2:44:39 AM

bttt...i need a pci card...my computer does not have an agp slot or a pci-e slot

10/9/2007 10:29:05 AM

then you need a new motherboard, son

10/9/2007 11:01:30 AM

bttt...need a pci card...pm if you dont feel like posting around all the non relevant posts

10/9/2007 12:22:27 PM

i have a geforce mx4000 pci. I'll let you know when I find it, but I don't know if you'd want to trade your 9600 for that.

10/9/2007 4:18:09 PM

oh yeah good point...i'd like it to be fairly decent

10/9/2007 7:12:43 PM

bttt

10/10/2007 11:25:52 AM

triple check to make sure you 100% have a pci slot and not a pci-Express slot(have someone do it if your nub)


if you do have just a pci slot and your trying to put video in it....buy a new mobo ty tyx5

10/10/2007 4:34:17 PM

yeah dnl if it's truly a NEW computer, there's no way it DOESN'T have a pci-e slot

take a pic for us, or give us a model number.

we just tryn'a make sure you don't get the wrong thing, b.

10/10/2007 5:24:56 PM

bttt...let me know if you have a decent pci card...i got a decent agp card i cant use...cant be pci-e

10/10/2007 9:16:56 PM

10/11/2007 11:46:22 AM

bttt

10/12/2007 9:00:01 AM

i installed windows for him, it's PCI not pci-e.
he has a dimension 3000 w/ integrated video, and 3 normal pci slots open.
he has a 512 of kingston value ram (pc3200/400mhz) atm, and needs another
to get him up to a gb.

10/12/2007 10:07:52 AM

good luck with that, who the hell would buy a regular pci video card...

10/12/2007 10:26:13 AM

^^haha, thanks

^i had a 256mb pci video card once

CHAINTECH P-FX20 GeForce FX 5200 256MB 128-bit DDR PCI Video Card - Retail



this is about the best PCI video card you can get - they don't even MAKE pci video cards anymore.

this being said, the only PCI video card i still have laying around is a 32mb geforce2.

10/12/2007 12:15:33 PM

thats a pretty good card but newegg had some that were more expensive than that...i figured like going from pci to agp is an upgrade so some wolfwebber would want to trade

i heard a 256mb pci is slower than a 128mb agp...wish i had an agp slot

10/12/2007 10:25:21 PM

sell that one to some rube, and get a better computer, or get a different motherboard - if you want, get one that uses pci-e, and ddr2 - i have two sticks of 533mhz 256mb ddr2 you could get...then just get any bargain pci-e video card and you have a $exas computer....spend maybe 180 on mobo and video.

yep, PCI bus has WAY less bandwidth.

How do you have a new computer and it doesn't at least have an AGP slot? Is that like, new to you, but from 1999?

10/13/2007 12:41:50 PM

nah its from 2005...i think i might just buy some new ecs motherboard that has an agp slot...its like 23.99 on newegg but its sold out

10/13/2007 2:46:47 PM

beware: Dell machines can be difficult to upgrade due to them having proprietary stuff in weird places. If you get a new mobo, you may well end up needing a new power supply as well. Though power supplies are fairly cheap.

Just an FYI.

10/14/2007 12:38:48 PM

I have him covered on that, if need be - good looking out though ^

10/14/2007 12:41:22 PM

i have a 300 watt antec power supply
