I have a very crappy computer. It’s a vista 32-bit with 1 gig of ram, a 1.8 GHz processor, and a low quality graphics card. I want to buy new drivers like a new video card, memory and a new processor from Best Buy. I need to know how to tell if these new drivers are compatible with my system. How do I tell?

When I turn it on, all the system and CPU fans start spinning, and the power / hard drive lights come on, but the screen is blank. I did not hear *beeps* from the motherboard and my video card is still working fine.

I got the GeForce 8400M GS graphics card with my notebook. It has 64 MB of dedicated memory. It has a lot of shared memory (767 MB). On some applications, when I try to use certain graphics features, I get an error message saying that I need more than 64 MB of video card memory to run the feature. Shouldn’t that shared memory kick in and save me from having this problem?

I could add a seperate video card, but need to upgrade power supply too. So instead Im buying a new cpu. Now the question is how to recover what is on the old hard drive…docs., photos, video and more. Can I connect the old cpu to my new one and drag everything over? What is the best way to accomplish this task?

I’m planning on being a new video card. I’m on a tight budget, so I’m wondering if I should buy a video card with less video memory rather than buy the same card with a larger video memory since it’s much cheaper.

I wanna get 240 gt video card GDDR5. They come in two versions 512mb and 1 gb memory. I know that for the speed of the game the frequency of GPU is mostly responsible, but what does memory do?
Thanks you!

I have just purchaased a hp compaq cq5320f it says in website that it has sata disk etc. when I brought it home in device manger it states that the disk and dvd/rw are both scsi devices. Whats the differences? can i attach a sata device to it . Oh it also has a sata controller. do i need to attach a power cord to a pce x16 video card?

I am going to be adding a new video card to my computer soon but I don’t know what type my motherboard can support.

Can anyone tell me how I can check?
