if there is a pci express slot or AGP slot, should I add geforce, and use 2 graphic cards(Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 Engine and Geforce) at once

Thank you very much , I really appreciate your help. thanks fellas.

Answer 1

It should be possible, but note that you won't actually be replacing the on-board card. Get a new card (PCI, PCI-express or AGP standard, depending on which slots this motherboard has--PCI is long and white, PCIe is a bit shorter and usually white as well, and AGP is short and brown), and once you plug this card into your motherboard, your computer will recognize it and force it as a default to override the on-board display adapter.

Do not attempt to remove anything from the motherboard, just install a new card, and if you're using Win2k or XP, you should be good to go.

Answer 2

You need to find out if you have an AGP or PCI Express slot and buy the appropriate card. Then you need to disable the on-board graphics card in your BIOS. Lastly you need to un-install the Intel graphics drivers before you install the drivers for the new card.

Answer 3

no idea, it depends on your specific motherboard. It should have a pci slot that will accomidate a graphics card(the graphics card will have it's own memory), but your mother board will determine what graphics card you can use. If you know the manufacturer of the mother board then you can look them up online and, probably, get the answers to your questions. If your computer is a major name HP, Dell, etc. then you need to go to them to find out what card you can use. Unfortunately, some of the lower end integrated systems do not allow you to do much of anything. good luck

Answer 4

Sure. You don't have to use the built in graphics card any more than you have to use the factory audio...you just need to have a free pci slot to stick the card in, and set your preferences to use that card instead of the built-in.

Answer 5

Normally if the graphic card is built-in, you need to turn off the onboard graphic card before install another graphic card onto your motherboard.

Answer 6

AGP slot available? No prob'

A 5500 is ol' school. For a little over a hundred bones, you can get a pretty nice 6800 from here:

Answer 7

yes!!! install your pci or agp card in an expansion slot on the back of your computer and plug your monitor in to it...its that ez

Answer 8

do you have a pci express slot available on your motherboard? if yes then you can, just don't forget to disable the on board one, should be able to do this from the bios menu.

Answer 9

attempt unpluggin each and every thing from the board. you could continually take the cpu out and look into it for burns yet i doubt it burned up except it overheated. make optimistic the heatsink is on each and each and every of how even if. you need to of went with a corsair psu. I dont recognize what percentage watts your psu is yet i wish its over 500w. make optimistic you've the 4 pin connector from the psu plugged in or i imagine ought to correctly be 8 pin. you could contact me on yahoo messanger for better suppoort merely view my profile.
