No. Although the connectors may look similar, PCI-E x16 cards and older PCI slots are electronically incompatible. A device meant for one but inserted in the other will not work, and may even result in damage to the card, the motherboard, or both.

∙ 12y agomost video cards are backwards compadible. but in your case your asking your computer to xcept an older item, i really don't know if it would work or not. i would almost have to say no to this question, but i could be wrong i never tried it before. i know that my ati radeon 4670 pci express x16.. work in my friend pci express x16.. but that's a sign of backwards compadible.. im sorry but i really don't know if that would work.

Does ram from graphic cards contribute to overall ram on computer?
RAM from graphic cards does not contribute to overall RAM on a computer. A graphic card that has RAM will only use that RAM for the use of the graphic card itself and no other parts of the computer. This means that the RAM that is on the graphic card is only used to store images that are being sent to the graphic card itself. The RAM on the graphic card allows the card to handle much more graphic intensive scenes, and puts a lot less stress on the graphic card, because instead of the graphic card having to process every bit of information for the scene that is sent to it. ( lets say your graphic card as 1GB of RAM on it ) The graphic card can store at least 1 GB of RAM in its memory to process later, allowing the card to finish processing the information that it was processing before the new information came in. Hope this helps.
Will a 64-bit agp graphics card work in a 32-bit computer?

Can a 256mb 128 bit PCI video card work in a 32 bit slot?
Nope
What are Graphic images called when each pixel is bit-mapped?
Its called a raster, or bitmapped graphic.
Graphic images where each pixel is bit-mapped and take up more memory?

What is a graphic image where each pixel is bit-mapped?

Is the gore in halo graphic?
It depends on what you call graphic. If you're okay with a little bit of blood in a game, it's not that graphic. I mean there's no guts splattering out or anything like that, just blood.
What is a graphic image where each pixel is bit mapped and takes up more memory?
That is a .bmp file (Bit MaP).
How can i enhance my pc graphics on my laptop my configuration is core i7 2670 qm cpu 64 bit ram 4 gb ati 2 gb radeon graphic card windows 7?
You can try replacing your video card. Some laptops do allow to upgrade video controllers.
What is the optimal amount of memory for a video card?
Almost impossible to answer. Why do you need a video card? To watch movies? Any cheap 256M will do. To play the latest and greatest games? No card will ever be big enough because there's always the next game. However, the chipset makes more difference than the DRAM size. That said, I've never been restricted by memory size on my trusty 1gig, but I believe I will upgrade. I'm no gamer, but I prefer a smooth 3D on my CAD stuff. 1GB is what I would call optimal. If you have the extra cash, 2GB will probably do for a few years. However, it should be noted than on a 32-bit system, you cannot have more than 4GB total memory, which includes memory provided by your graphic card. Thus if your graphic card has 2GB, you can only utilise 2GB of system memory. So while game play will be perfectly adequate, day-to-day usage will suffer from lack of memory. If your needs are less graphic-centric, the less graphic memory the better. On 64-bit systems this is not a problem as there's effectively no memory limits other than those stipulated by the motherboard. In other words, graphic memory is in addition to the installed system memory. Ultimately, the optimum graphic memory depends on what you use your computer for. If you manipulate static images or edit videos, you don't need a huge amount of graphic memory, but you need as much system memory as possible. But if you manipulate or render 3D models or play the latest games, the more graphic memory the better. For the best of both worlds, you need a 64-bit system.
Where can I learn more about graphic printing?
Yes, there are online classes in graphic printing. On sessionscollege, there's a class for graphic design and printing. Even though it costs a bit for the class itself, it is accredited and the course is user available.
What is better 64 bit or 128 bit video card?
128 bit for sure
