Graphics Cards

Yes, check to make sure who makes the card. Such as Nvidia or ATI. Then check to see if your motherboard is [nvidia]SLI or [ati]CROSSFIRE compatible. For SLI you need 2 of the same video cards, ATI doesnt have to be the same. www.nvidia.com www.ati.com they should have helpful information on how to install there products.

I know it supports Shader Model 5.0 so i am assuming that it can run 3.0 but personally i would just use 5.0 so much better.

computers have them. check in "my computer" right click it and check the properties

you
1 insert gangland game cd
2 download the patch from a website (i go to the website i linked at bottom)
3 after patch is downloaded run the patch (for some reason the newest patch needs an older patch installed 2 work so download 1.3 patch and 1.4 as well

Yes It does please refer to : http://ati.amd.com/products/rage128/rageorion/index.html

Most likely the driver for your graphics adapter was not found. And windows uses standard VGA driver. You need to check your video card manufacture website for drivers compatible with windows 7. I'm sure that NVIDIA has such drivers.

Because the 8800GT is a 5 year old card.

you can normally get updates from Microsoft or you should have a dick that came with the graphics card that should let you install the drivers

Yes nvidia cards are support for NFS Hot Purist but some nvidia card are not supported

minimum nvidia card are 7600gs..

A SLI video card is a video card that allows you to insert more than 2 graphics cards into your computer. It supports up to 4 of the same GPU's running at the same time. SLI was developed by 3DFX in 1997 for use with their graphics card the Voodoo2 but after the company was defuncted nVidia acquired the rights to use this technology. There is also CrossFireX which was developed by ATI.

Pixel Shader 2 is a graphics card feature. It is needed in order to play some video games. Typically ones that have a high amount of graphics.

Im pretty sure you do. When i fist bought spore the computer i used didnt have the right graphics card, so to play SPORE, you need the righ kind of graphic. and no i dont know what graphics it is. my dad bought me the new computer.

The ATI Radeon 7200 is a older video card and such doesn't have the newer features of the Mobility. If your looking for a good but not too expensive video card and think that the Mobility is too pricey, Newegg.com has a great selection and the ship within 3-5 business days.

Geforce 6600 or ATI x1300 graphics card minimal

No, all games require graphics cards to play.

Froogle seach (Copy paste) for list of PCI Graphics cards http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=pci+128mb+3d#=100&hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-03,GGLD:en&tab=ff&oi=froogler&scoring=p If your needing performance, buy something name brand, Geforce FX series or Radeon, and double check that it is not PCI express. Research and compare.

Sometimes PCI, PCI-E, AGP and other slots on motherboards are color coded... but often they are not. If they are different colors, it is usually just that different slots are different colors on the mother board in question. But there is no color coding standard among mother board makers in general.

Turn off the computer, open the panel, remove the screw, pull the card.

On the other hand, if you're wanting to "remove" a video card that's part of the motherboard you may need to install a video card into one of the slots, get it working then you can disable the onboard video adapter from the list of drivers in the hardware profile.

Sorry, but no. Most laptops you can't change the graphics card. The same goes for this laptop. The graphics card is soldered to the motherboard, there is no way of improving it.

Of course, every computer/laptop has a graphics card, even if it's integrated.

If you want to play GTA 4 you will definitely need a fairly decent PC/Laptop to actually run it, if your laptop is outdated and has an integrated graphics card and processor, chances are you're not going to have much luck.

As for Windows 7, it's only an operating system, Windows 7 64 bit is much better visualized, and will help games run better, but without a decent Graphics card or Processor you won't be going anywhere.

No, they are completely different. PCI is a general purpose card interface, AGP is specifically for video cards. Most often you will see an older machine that has one AGP slot and several PCI slots.

Both PCI and AGP are out of date, you won't see any new motherboards or computers with AGP, and PCI is in 'legacy' status, that is, PCI slots are only included on motherboards to support older cards that the owner might have.

The modern slot is PCI-e (which is incompatible with the older PCI)

CRT monitors can vary greatly in size. The smallest ones were generally about 5 inches (monitors are measure diagonally, top left to bottom right). CRT monitors as large as 24" can be purchased commercially, and even larger ones could probably be custom-ordered.
