Solve : Video Card requirments?

Answer»

My current Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8IR533 http://miburl.com/WP6RVWC. It has an expansion SLOT of: "1 x AGP 4X, SUPPORTS 1.5V display card only" If I buy a Nvidia Geforce6 6800, will it work with the current motherboard?

I am running:
OS: XP
RAM: 512 MB
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.80 Ghz
Current Graphics card: Geforce4 440MX

There are 2 different voltages for the older AGP style...as long as this is correct you should be good to go...Thanks Patio!

Is there a good store or online store where I can get 2 Gb DDR RAM sticks?


Mobo: * 3 x 184-pin DDR DIMMs
* Supports up to 2GB of DDR 200/266 memory

I'm a bit confused w/ the RAM...I recommend Crucial, they even have a scanner to determine the best RAM for your system.Ya I checked there, but man, DDR is really old, I thought it would be cheaper... but if that's the price then...Older RAM usually is more expensive as it no longer has the broad customer base to keep the price down. They have to cover the manufacturing costs somehow.I might just end up buying this: http://ncane.com/lgcb

and the 1 gb from here

http://ncane.com/zltb

I can buy the two sticks of the 512 mb from the first link and then the 1 Gb from the second site. If this works out, all 3 of the RAM slots will be used.

I currently am using two sticks of 256 MB RAM.You better MAKE sure your MBoard will handle 1G stiks before you go spending good money...Sweet, the RAMs worked out GREAT, thanks for the warning though!Now I just need to find a good deal on the Nvidia Geforce 6800 AGP 4.x. Any good places to buy from?

or, if you know another video card that is decent for my motherboard? I can do the price search on my own for it. Just need names! not that pro with specs.newegg...QUOTE from: Tranc3r on November 08, 2009, 05:38:59 PM

So, you ordered the RAM on 11/8/09 and received it on 11/8/09. Is that FedEx or UPS? ***sigh***
