What else can I help you with?
Will your PC run without the graphics card plugged?
Yes the PC will still run, however if the motherboard does not have an onboard video port you will not have any video at all..
Do you still need a graphics card if the motherboard has a VGA port?
If your motherboard already has a VGA port, you do not need an additional graphics card. However, depending upon what you plan to do with your computer you may want one. Some motherboards come with fairly low-end graphics chipsets so if you plan to do much gaming, 3-d graphics or the like, you may find the onboard video is insufficient. The good news is that you can always add one on later if you discover you need one.
Does a PC already have a graphics card installed?
Most computers come with an Integrated Video Chipset, which means yes it's pre-installed. If you buy a new motherboard, it may not come with Integrated graphics, but it will have either a VGA or PCI-E slot to add an external one. Then again, if a motherboard had integrated graphics it also may still have a VGA or PCI-E slot to upgrade.
Can you change your graphics card or get an external graphics card for your laptop I have an Acer Aspire 5552g?
More thann 3 quarter laptops cannot have there graphics card changed saddly. However, there are people out there who has a kit which allows you to hook a graphics card to a device and the device to go into your laptop. I would not recommend doing so. Laptops have the graphics chips soldered directly onto the motherboard, to save space. Unfortunately, during fault finding, reference is still made about your 'graphics card', assuming the system is a desk top. Repairs to a laptop graphics system, involves re-flowing the solder on the motherboard. Something which requires expensive equipment beyond the average repair shop.
Can game that requires a minimum gpu of GeRorce 4MX still playable with a laptop that has Intel gma 4500m?
I would very much doubt it, Onboard graphics are no good for games unless you have a really top end latest edition onboard gfx card
Is it ok to put a Radeon HD 2600PRO graphics card on a M2N-SLIDELUXE motherboad. Will it still work with it even if the motherboard is SLI-ready. If it can will the performance be affected in any way?
Yes, There is no reason it should not work. I would use a better motherboard if you are going to put that graphics card in it though. perhaps a 700 series SLI not a 500 series SLI. Also an 8800 GT would complement this board very nicely.
If you put i motherboard in my sisters old laptop will her files still be on the laptop?
No. Information is saved on the hard drive of the computer, no the motherboard.
How can you disable an embedded component on the motherboard?
Generally, this is a very bad idea. The only instance in which I would ever do it is to disable an integrated graphics chip and use a deticated one. I have an article from EHow below.Many computers are purchased with integrated graphics built into the motherboard. Integrated graphics are getting more powerful all the time, but a dedicated graphics card is much more powerful than graphics integrated with your motherboard, according to the Microsoft website. To get more power and performance from your computer, upgrade to a dedicated graphics card. To change to a graphics card from integrated graphics, simply install your new video card.Instructions1Turn off your system and remove all cables from the rear panel of the computer tower. Flip the switch for the power supply to the off position if your computer's power supply has a power switch. Press the power button on the disconnected computer to release any stored charge the computer still holds in its motherboard.2Remove the screws that secure the computer's side panel. There are normally two to three screws securing the side panel of a computer tower. Newer computers sometimes use thumbscrews or latches to keep the side panel in place.3Open the computer case by removing the side panel. Place the computer on its side to allow easy access to the computer's expansion slots located on the motherboard. Touch the metal casing on your computer's power supply to ground yourself and prevent static electricity from damaging your system.4Align your graphics card with the motherboard's expansion slot and press it firmly down to insert the new video card. Secure your new graphics card to the rear panel of your computer with a single computer case screw to keep it in place. Connect the graphics card to your computer's power supply if your card requires an external source of power.5Replace the side panel of the computer and tighten the screws that keep the side of the computer case secure. Attach your computer cables to the rear panel of your computer case and turn your computer's power supply switch to the on position. Double-check that you have connected your monitor cable to the newly installed video card. Press the power button on the front panel of your computer to boot your system.6Turn on your computer monitor to ensure your monitor is receiving a signal from the new graphics card. Your motherboard will automatically detect that a card is plugged into the expansion slot, and use the installed graphics card for video.7Insert the driver installation disk and follow the installation media's instructions. If necessary, restart your computer to apply the new driver settings and configuration for your graphics card.
My desktops motherboard is broken! Without access to my computer can I still change the motherboard?
The motherboard is physical hardware, so you can't replace it without access to your desktop. Technically it does not have to be the same motherboard, but it does need to be one that is still compatible with all of the other hardware that is already installed. Replacing the motherboard is roughly the same amount of work as building an entire new computer, since literally every component will need to be reconnected. As such, I would recommend staying with the same model unless you have access to a professional who can help you install and configure the new motherboard.
What is the difference between Intel 865G and NVidia Geforce 6800?
The Intel865G is integrated graphics meaning it is part of the motherboard. This type usually comes with low end computers and will be very limited as to what games it can play. The 6800 is a separate card that plugs into the motherboard and will provide grater graphics power. However, this is still not a very powerful card so if you with to play current games on it, you will need something better such as the Nvidia 8800 series or the 4XXX series from ATI. Their current top end model is the 4870 x2
What features does a graphics card have?
Graphics cards processes all your graphics in your computer. It plays a important role for gamers. All Graphics Cards have memory, these come in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB. The more memory your computer has, the faster it will run and combine it with a good processor equals awesome pc! Memory in your CPU (central processing unit or know as processors), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit or Graphics card or video card) is just like extra RAM which makes your computer faster. The more memory your computer has, the faster it will run! If you are looking forward to buying a graphics card, you should find someone who can install it and nvidia graphics cards are highly recommended by me. PLEASE DO NOT buy INTEL graphics cards as they aren't good and have many common problems such as: breaking down soon like 3-12months, blue screens etc. Nvidia Geforce 7800GT are decent graphics cards that are a couple years old but still run ultra smooth and these can range costs about $150-$250, depending on how much memory it has. Although Nvidia 9800GT will flog it and probably the best but costs around $400 depending on how much memory it has. Also, ATI cards are also good but i recommend nvidia because they are better. I hope this information was useful! Thanks- Drkzin
