Advice needed for buying an AGP card for MEGA 180

Since 1 year I have a MEGA 180 with a SEMPRON 2500 processor, 512 MB DDR RAM, Lite-On DVD-R/W, Hauppauge PVR-150 running MediaPortal 2.0.0.0.-RC4 and it rocks! 
I am not so happy though about the TV-output of the integrated GF4MX that came with the nForce2 chipset. I would like to disable this and insert a low profile, passive cooled nVidia-6200 with 128 MB-DDR. I am a bit worried about the power requirements of the card and the juice that the power supply (200W ) can deliver. Is it safe to use this card or should I adjust my demands? I am using the system for media purposes only, e.g. recording and watching recorded TV, watching movies and playing music. MediaPortal requires a DirectX-9 compliant card, DirectX-8 also works but with video artefacts. Gaming is no requirement.
  Can anyone please advice what to do  ???
Thanks in advance, Leo

    Also Do I Need A Power Supply?

    Jumpman,
    Please reply after you have measured the existing Power supply.
    Is it a Min ITX (3.2 x 1.7 x 6) or a TFX (3.4 x 2.5 X 7)
    Athena Power has just released a news article in Smart Computing that relates to their new product line of power supplies for the Slimline cases.
    Just as an example, this card needs a minimum of 400W :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8​2E16814150577 
    Caution: You can not use a graphics card that the Power Supply does not support (PINOUT and WATTAGE). Slimline power units do not have PCIE power plug(s), as yet. (See Athena if they have any).

  • If I need to buy 15 Final Cut for the university.

    If I need to buy 15 Final Cut for the university. Do I have to do all the process 15 times?

    Disclaimer - For me the Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture very different from that found in most 1st world nations, such as that in the two dominant North American countries. Written language has no tone. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Final Cut Pro is an app for Macs and not an iOS app for an iPhone or iPad. You will need the link for Apple software volume licensing for education. That information and the phone number to call is available on this webpage;

  • Can you not buy a internet card for a iPad without having to have wifi at your home

    CCan. You not buy a internet card for a iPad without having wifi at your home?

    You cannot buy an internet card for the iPad, but you can purchase a mobile hotspot or MIFI device to use as your connection to the internet. Yoy will need to purchase a data plan from a carrier in your area as well in order for this to work.
    Google "MIFI devices or mobile hotspots" to see what is avalable in your area. I have this one.

    i hate that i have to oay for the same game or app three time one for ipad ones for iphone and ones for mac please do something about that apple..!!!

    First, you posted in the Mac App Store forum which are apps for the Mac OS X, not iOS devices.
    You do not need to re purchase your apps. Connect your iOS devices to your computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Apps then click Sync

    i have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

    No...  Because it is distributed via the Mac App Store, it falls under the Mac App Store rules..  Which should mean that you can install it on up to 5 machines that you own.

    You download apps from the App Store on your iPhone or iTunes from your computer.  If from the computer, you then sync them to your 3GS via iTunes.

    Thanks and can Best Buy install graphic cards for me?

    It also depends on the voltage rails (12v and 5v I believe) If you have a weaker number, some of these cards can make toast of the computer in no time!

    what happens if i buy a girt card for music can i buy music

    I'm guessing you meant to type "gift card". Yes you can, I do it all the time. Buy the card, download to your iTunes account and buy till you go blind! Or drain the money whichever comes first. Cheers.

  • Do I need to buy any extra cables for the airport express??

    I was wondering if i need to buy any extra cables for the airport exprees.what kind of cables do i have to get to connect the airport express to my DSL modem?

    Typically all you would need is an Ethernet cable (cat5, rj45 end), and it would be connected to the LAN port on the DSL modem, and the Ethernet jack on the AP Express.
