I Need Advice On An AGP Video Card Around 150

I'm going to buy a new graphics card for my ASUS A7N8X-VM 400 Motherboard. It has an integrated
nVidia GeForce 4mx GPU, but I've decided it's time to upgrade cause I'm learning Maya
these days (also, all the new games need pixel shader support). What I'm worried about is which
graphics card is supported on my Motherboard. My motherboard supports 8x graphics 1.5V. Here are
some pics from the motherboard manual: Photos Gallery - PicTiger Does this mean
ABSOLUTELY ANY 8x graphics card will work with my motherboard? Does that include 2.0 ...

Hi. I need help with installing a video/graphic card in the PCI Express x16 slot. My motherboard is
Intel D915PBL. This problem applies to a ATI X700 card. I slotted the card into the PCI Express x16
slot and when I turn on the computer, the fan of the video card is spinning. However, Windows did
not detect any new hardware. Btw, my motherboard doesn't comes with in-built video card. Since
I don't have a on-board vid card I need a video card to see whats on my monitor. I'll plug
the vid card in and my monitor works fine. I see everything with it. I just can...

Well, for some time i thought that ati had the lead with their cards, but suddenly nvidia seems to
have demolished ati with their sli interface and the new geforce 7800 gtx card. so the question is:

Hello all ! Someone I know is flying to Dubai and has very kindly agreed to get me any electronic
consumer goods that I want. Right now, a personal music player is at the top of my "I want this..."
list. However, I want to ask the advice of users on the forum as to what particular model
they'd suggest. The following parameters are must-haves: At least 2 GB capacity FM tuner
ability to play WMA, MP3 - a must. (Plus points if it can also play MP4 / OGG / AAC) good battery
life - 10 - 12 hours actual playback (which means a rated life of about 14 hours) I don&#...

I'm currently using a Generic 400/450watt P4 PSU. When I upgrade some hardware components soon,
I'm thinking of getting a better quality one to make sure everything is fine (and I probably
should have gotten one ages ago), but I don't have a whole lot to spend on it. Basically what
I'm looking to find out is what the equivalent is for a better quality PSU, as iv'e heard
say a 350watt antec would beat the pants off a generic 450watter or some such. I am looking at:
350W "Antec" Basiq ATX Power Supply, ATX12V version 2.01 complaint, Dual +12V Ouput...

I have a very old (9 years) CRT monitor and hate to throw it away unless it's life is all used
up /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> So in
the time being I'm thinking of getting a better video card than what I have now. My question is,
is there a minimum resolution size for video cards? I'm asking this because this old CRT can
only support up to 800x600 resolution. Thanks....

Hello all, I need to upgrade a computer to increase its performance for image processing with adobe
photoshop cs. The problem I have is because digital pro-images are quite large (12megapixel) the
computer totally slow down when opening, aplying a modification,etc.. anything you do will take a
long time. The actual computer is a AMD athlon 64 +3400 with 1Gb of RAM. Graphics card is nVidia
5200. Hardisk is SATA 7000rpm (seagate) What do you improve to achieve more performance for this
kind of work? As this computer is not for gaming, I don't know if a better g...

I have a laptop and was wondering if there are any video cards that can fit into laptops. If anyone
knows of any than please reply to this. Thanx...

Recently, I've been encountering several problems with my computer. One of those is that when i
play a game, say MapleStory that uses up the whole screen, sometimes it would just hang for a second
or 2 and restart the computer. Each time this happens, i send the error report and (surprisingly)
Microsoft have found a solution which i do not understand. This is the link to the error report:

It's very irritating and i have a gut feeling that this has something to do with V...

I am looking for a new Video Card and was wondering what the prices range from. In my current one I
am getting video, but the quality is not too good. I played that new game Rome and the game works,
but when they get to the parts where the animated characters talk it starts lagging, and same with
age of empires III. I just want a video card that can play all the games properly and above the
minimum requirements. Anyone got any ideas on what kind I should get?...

I'm looking at getting a new heatsink+fan for my 9800 pro 256. I've heard that they generate
gobs of heat, because the bulk of memory is on the top of the board. I don't know if this is
true, so that would be my first question. My second question would be, If it does generate a lot of
heat, what is a good heatsink+fan? I've been looking at some of the zalman heatsinks, but I know
there are others that are probally just as good. Any suggestions?...

So I've been thinking about it for a while and I'm pretty dead set on getting a camera this
month. I've done a little research http://www.steves-digicams.com/ and their buying guide
http://www50.shopping.com/xPP-Digital_Came...nkin_id-3053120 and I've pretty much settled on
the Konica Minolta S414 . My budget says I'll have about 250 to spend and I can pick up one of
these with a memory card, neck strap, case, 1yr warranty for about 270. I like the high optical
zoom, and the good megapixels for the money. Anyone who knows a thing or two about...
