Can I add a better graphic card to Equium A100-306?

As the title suggests is it possible to add a graphics card to an A100 - 306 Equium in order to better handle games?
Any thoughts/comments much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Honestly no its not possible. Every model has a set list of parts that can be ordered, and if your model has a graphics card of 128MB the only video card an ASP can order is the one listed for your model. The equium A100-306 is different for instance then the Equium A100-307. From looking at the parts list for your computer, your Graphics card is integrated on the MB, meaning you can not even upgrade it if you wanted. Sorry, no chance for an upgrade on your Notebook.

  • Can I add a second graphics card?

    I have an older G$ Quicksilver with a 32MB Geforce2 MX display card. I want to add a second vga monitor in pan mode to display one program while the other monitor displays another program. Can I add a second GeForce2 MX 32MB AGP card to accomplish this? Or do I need a more powerful card to replace the one I have?

    You can't add a second AGP card (there is only one AGP slot on the motherboard). You could add a PCI graphics card, but you will get much better performance by replacing your current AGP card with one that supports two monitors. There are various options depending on whether you have a display using ADC, how much performance you want, and price.
    If you need ADC and don't want to buy a DVI to ADC adapter, you can look for a used Macintosh NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX Twinview or NVIDIA GeForce 4 Titanium. These don't support Core Video, so will not be able to take advantage of some features and speed improvements in Tiger.
    If you don't need ADC, or get a DVI to ADC adapter, you can get much better performance. The best (but expensive) is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256MB. It has a DVI and a VGA port.
    A lot cheaper, and a bit slower, is the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Power Mac G5 edition, modified to work in a G4 Quicksilver. See:
    <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/630ATI96G4/>
    With this card you will need an ADC to VGA adapter to run your second monitor. The other port is DVI.
    Beware of the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Edition 256MB card. It will not work in some Quicksilver modes.

  • Can i add a video graphics card to the HP TouchSmart 420t

    I just purhased an HP Touchsmart 420T and I'd like to know if I can add a video graphics card?

    This is the same answer that has been given for every model over the past 3 years and continues to be the case.
    For all intent the graphics cards in the Touchsmart desktops are NOT upgradable, even with a "standard" MXM card since the motherboard and BIOS are custom made for HP and do not support additional non-HP graphics cards and their firmware/BIO

    No, graphic card cannot be replaced on the notebooks.
    Mostly the GPU chip is soldered on the motherboard.

    Hi booory, I see you are looking to upgrade your video graphics.
    I have the product specifications for you to look at for your HP TouchSmart 310-1126. Unfortunately, it does not seem like you will be able to upgrade the video graphics.

  • Can I get a better graphic card for my laptop?

    Hi, my name is Mitchell and about a few years ago i got an Hp Pavilion G6 Notebook pc.  I use my laptops mostly for school work but now ive started to play games on it and ive noticed that I can play some games because the graphic card is not the best.  Instead of makeing a new gaming pc I wanted to just upgrade the graphic card on it?  Am I able to buy a graphic card for it and instal it?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    What is your G6 ? G6 is a series of many models/laptops and normally we can't upgrade video card on 99.5% of them. Not just G6 series, other laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and work station class machines.
    Regards.

  • Want to add Video and Graphic Card to my computer system

    I Notice that one of the users' in the Apple discussion Board is Listed, (AndyO) he has help me many times in the Past and was succesful in my problrm solution, would he might be able to help me with this?
    I had Purchased the Game Spore Creature Creator the Starter Kit which is just the Creature creator game and not the actual game itself. I wasn't able to install the the game on my computer because I don't have the right or not at all Video and Graphic Card install on my computer. I had Contacted the Company "EA" that puts out the Game Spore, this is what they said what the game requirements are: The minimum system requirements for Spore and Spore the Galactic Edition for Mac are as follows:
    * Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
    * Intel Core Duo Processor
    * 1024 MB RAM
    * At least 345 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (260 MB for the Trial Edition)
    * Video Card - ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
    This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).
    For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: an Intel Integrated Chipset GMA X3100 or Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
    Supported Video Cards
    ATI Radeon(TM) series
    * X1600, X1900, HD 2400, HD 2600
    NVIDIA GeForce series
    * 7300, 7600, 8600, 8800
    Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
    * GMA X3100
    and that I need to upgrade my system. Basically I need; ATI Radeon 1600 or NVIDIA Geforce 7300 and a INTEL Extreme Graphic Video Card-GMA X3100, in order to be able to install and play this game. Since I already have this game, I would like to be able to upgrade my computer system which brings me to ask; does somone know or refer me to a web site that has and sells these Video and Graphic Card and supports for the Mini Mac?
    Plus they say that I need a 1020 of MB of Ram, I Have already found that 1024 MB of Ram but I just need those Video and Graphic Cards for my computer system. I am adding my computer system Profile to my discussion board to show you what I have on my system, would you be able to tell me if I would be able to add these Video and Graphic card and the memory or Ram 1024 to my computer system?
    Note: Here is a web site that I am looking at to add the 1024 MB of Ram to my computer system:

    Hi Trisha,
    The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
    Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

  • Can I upgrade my laptop Graphic Card

    I have a HP DV6 B1N18EA, its has the nividia geforce 630m 2 gb detecated, I need a better graphic card to upgrade it. So can anyone please tell me if i can

    Hi,
    Basically you can, with a cost and I believe this cost may be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:
    New card price,  and WHERE you can buy it because laptop cards are not the same as desktop cards. You can't buy from any normal shop,
    Need new system board (may be),
    Need new cooling system because generally speaking more powerfull card pumps out more heat (you want more powerfull card don't you?).
    May need new PSU because your current PSU may not suitbale to the card. (I ordered a machine with Nvidia card and I needed to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal 65W charger. They simply rejected my order).
    Labor cost.
    Many, many packets of Asprin.
    Hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion Elite M9040N - Putting in a better Graphics Card

    Hi,I've been searching for a even better Graphics Card than what I have in my computer right now.It seems that when I play the new updated Train Simulator 2015,my graphics can't keep up with the games graphics which they reccommend the Graphics Card 512MB with Pixel Shader 3.0 (AGP PCIe only) Iam trying to figure out which Card would be in the best to get and also be in mid price range or for a good deal.If anybody knows of a Graphics Card that I could upgrade from the current Nvidia Zotac GT 520 card that I have in my CPU already.I'd be greatful for anyone's opinion on this,Thank's!  :-)

    I have some sad news for you. The m9040n is below the minimums required for gameplay of Trainz 2015.
    Your system has a 2.4Ghz processor, min is 2.8Ghz, recommended is an I-5 at 3.4Ghz.
    The Zotac GT520 1GB 64bit card is too weak, but no sense upgrading the card. You do not the CPU power.
    If your a steam internet sourced user, your ISP speed can be an added problem.  DSL is a no-play zone.

  • Better graphics card for Mac Pro 5?

    I have a new mac Pro and have recently been having some trouble with a 3D modeling program that I use crashing constantly. I have looked into the possibilities of it being software related but after more research I've found that many mac users using the same program are having the same issue. They replied that more often than not the issue was fixed by updating their graphics card. My question is, is there a better graphics card out there that I can upgrade to, or is what I'm running already up there?

    The current top-end card is the ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB.  You can purchase it from the Apple store and install it.
    However, I don't know whether it will fix your crashing issue.

  • Can I add a 3g sim card to the ipad?

    Can I add a 3g Wifi card to a wifi-enabled iPad?

    If you have a wifi-only iPad then you can't add a micro-sim card to the actual iPad - it doesn't have a sim slot or the hardware within it to use it. You might be able to get a mifi device, or use an iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad.
