Answer» Hi!
Currently I'm using an Acer Aspire M1641 which came with the following:
- Intel E5200 - Geforce G100 (I upgraded it to an EVGA geforce 450) - MICROSTAR motherboard with a Nvidia MCP73 Chipset - a 250 watt power supply (I upgraded it to an Aerocool E78-730 watt ) - 2x2gb of ddr2
Now I'm planning to UPGRADE my CPU, motherboard and ram. I'm planning to use this:
- AMD PHENOM II X6 1055T - ASRock 880GM-LE (http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=880GM-LE) - GeIL DIMM 4 GB DDR3-1333 Kit
This should be the end result:
- AMD Phenom II X6 1055T - ASRock 880GM-LE - GeIL DIMM 4 GB DDR3-1333 Kit - Aerocool E78-730 watt (http://www.aerocool.com.tw/index.php/products/power-supply/38-eco-friendly-series/54-e78-730) - EVGA geforce 450
I did some research about all of the above and found out the MB has an onboard vga: ATI Radeon HD 4250. Is this going to be a problem while installing my EVGA 450? Or are they going to work together?
Some other questions:
Is the MB going to fit in my case? Are there going to be PROBLEMS with the power supply and MB? Or are there any other problems regarding this setup?
Thanks for your time!So your Acer won't be an Acer anymore after the upgrade. Don't expect Windows to boot after CHANGING the motherboard & CPU. You version of Windows Probably won't install because it was intended for the Acer.
You'd be far better off building a new computer, all you'll have left from the old one is the case & drives, the least expensive components.Quote the MB has an onboard vga: ATI Radeon HD 4250. Is this going to be a problem while installing my EVGA 450? Or are they going to work together? You can set in the BIOS which video, onboard or card, you want to use, and also disable the onboard video and release shared memory. I see the Asrock onboard vga supports Crossfire but I don't know if it will work with that Geforce card. woops lol forgot to mention I already have the drivers for a new install and i nlited my win7 so installing a new version won't be any problem. And thanks Salmon Trout! Would be awesome if they could work together.
