How do i add a video card to a dell dimension 2400?
i have the computer above and the video card is integrated onto the motherboard and i need to remove it so i can install my new one...do you know how to remove the integrated one?|||You don't have to remove it...disable the onboard video card after you install the new one|||Oh my f**king god....... i have the same computer i gorra check if i have the same problem .... if i do dam ...............|||You cannot, it's integrated ( not removable ).. Sorry|||Just delete the video drivers, and install the new card.
Any problems check the bios (f8), and disable onboard graphics!|||I think what you are trying to say is that you are using onboard video and not a video card.
There are three types of video cards, PCI, PCI Express, and AGP
PCI and PCI express are the newer versions of slots which you will most likely have if you bought your computer within the 2 years.
AGP is older and is the slot you would have if your computer is older than two years.
here is a visual of what the difference is. http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200…
Once you know which slot you have the installation is very easy and there will be "custom" directions for your specific card included but the basic process is
1. Put in and install software and drivers
2. Power down and open up case removing old video card if any
3. Put in new videocard and make all power connections if any are needed
4. power up and make sure the BIOS recognizes it and your good to go

Can I give more memory to a dedicated video card?
If you were to allow more memory from your ram to be used with your dedicated video card. such as going for 512mb to 1gb. By using my system ram, would that be possible with a m3n78-vm motherboard?|||all modern graphics cards that have a dedicated portion also take from system ram so all possible ram will be being used allready-the only other option is pysical upgrade
I want to buy a video card for my computer? IDK what kind I have a PCI or other?
Can some one help, I recently downloaded Everest ultimate and I didn't or I haven't found my specs for my video card I want to buy. Is there a way I can check what kind of video card I need for my PC.|||Go to start. Click run (or press Windows + R on your keyboard) Type in: DXDIAG
Click the Display tab. In the Device section you'll see the name of the device and manufacturer, how much Video RAM it has and so on.
As to what GPU you should buy, there are a few things you should consider:
> what do you need it for? Gaming? 3d graphics development?
> price. How much you're willing to pay.
> your computer's Power Supply Unit's specifications.
It's kinda hard to tell you what you need when you don't even know what you need one for.|||go to your computer manufacturer website, and go to their support page.. enter your product number/serial number and view the specs you need, it's that simple.

What video card do i need for my Aspire X3200?
I bought this system a couple weeks ago and to my surprise, it doesn't have a manual and i found also that the system has no dedicated video card installed which makes my Call of Duty 4 so annoying. I cannot access Aspire's website and the store I bought it from was very far from my location. Does anyone here have the same system? Does adding something inside void my warranty? please help. thanks.|||WEird, the specs I came up with show it's a nvidia 8400 card. Not onboard.
Pluss it should have a PCI-E slot..
So any card that is PCI-E would do...if you do have the 8400, you probably can't play CoD on the highest settings. You would need to get an 8800 or better.

What is the best Video Card for these specs?
PCI Express X16
DDR2 Memory (Preferably over 256MB)
And it needs to have a good rating.
I have been looking for a good video card but it's becoming difficult to find DDR2 cards as GDDR3 has taken over and now GDDR5 as well. I'm not an extreme FPS gamer (not going to be running any COD or Crysis)
I just need a video card that can handle games like Star Wars EAW, Age Of Empires, etc.

It's not much, but they will play those games. What's your price range?
There are better ones, but this was the cheapest.|||You can use any type of memory when it comes to video cards.
Just because your motherboard supports DDR2 doesn't mean that can't use a video card that has GDDR3 or GDDR5. That only applies to system RAM.
You can use any video card, as long as it's the correct cardbus. In your case, the correct card bus would be PCI Express x16. Just make sure the card will actually fit into your computer. Some video cards are fairly large and won't physically fit into a "slim" computer.|||>DDR2 cards as GDDR3
Your computer's SDRAM memory has nothing to do with what kind of memory your video card uses.
In other words, just pick any PCIE 16x video card. Doesn't matter what RAM you're currently using.
There are lots of video cards in different price ranges to choose from. Generally I like to link video cards with the size of your monitor -- the bigger the monitor, the better the card you should get.
If under 20 inches you'd be looking at spending $120-150 on a decent card like Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870 or Geforce 9600 GT or 9800 GTX.
If over 20 inches, spend about $160-190 on a GTX 260, Radeon 4890 etc
For what you're playing, I would say a card such as the 9800 GT or Radeon 4850 should be enough to handle your games without any hitches.|||okay, lol why do you want a ddr2 cards, those are like almost all gone. But if you must, go to tigerdirect and get the ati 4650, that is ddr2 and it is like under 50 bucks... if anything i recommend getting GDDR3 or get GDDR5.|||id say a Nvidia 8800GTS its not that old still pretty good FPS with it and cheapish now

How can I find out if my laptop's video card can be upgraded?
I tried the manufacturer's website, but they didn't have this info. I know at Crucial.com there's a scanner that will tell you exactly what RAM slots you have available and what kind of RAM you should get... is there a similar scanner for a video card? Or, how can I find out if I have expansion slots for a video card, and what kind will be compatible?|||Almost all laptops have their video (graphic) cards integrated on the motherboard, so you can't change it. Although there a model of Dell that has a replaceable graphic card but I doubt if you can be able to have it without ordering from Dell and it will probably cost much that you can buy a new computer ! And Laptops has no expansion slot for graphic card.|||You can't change it in a laptop
