How do I add a second video card to my Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop?

I want to install a second video card to my Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop so I can use two monitors. What card should I get?

Here are the specs for your Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model supports one VGA output via nVidia GeForce 6150SE onboard integrated graphics. This model also has a PCIe x16 graphics card expansion slot which will accept a PCIe x16 graphics card. According to the specs, installing a discrete graphics card in the PCIe x16 slot will disable the onboard integrated graphics.
The graphics card you purchase must support both monitors you wish to use with your computer. Additionally, most retail graphics cards require a 300 watt or greater system power supply. Currently , your computer has a 250 watt power supply and it will need to be replaced. Please consider the Corsair CX430, CX500, or CX600 series of power supplies to meet the new graphics card power requirements.
Alternatively, if this is mostly for word docs, spreadsheets, day trading and light video, you may wish to consider a USB-to-video adapter such as the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or one of the many other adapters on the market.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Can I add a Second Video card to my power mac g5

    Hi all,
    I have a Dual 2.5GHz PowerPC G5.
    is it possible to add a second video card to this system. I want to have the possibility of having 3-4 displays.
    if it can be done.. do I need a pci or pcix card and can someone recomend one that is available and of good quality..
    thanks

    Yes you can add a second card but you need to be sure if your machine is pci, pcix or pcie. The 2.5ghz G5 Quad is a pcie machine. I added a second 256mb card to it and now an running 3 24" and 1 17" monitors. Tom

  • Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop-Gr​aphics Card Help

    I want to add a video card to my computer. I know  I am very limited because it only has a 250 P.S. My goal is to use 3 monitors. I am not a gamer, but I trade & watch the stock market for extended periods of time. I also listed to podcasts and steam videos as well. Does have anyone have any suggestions for me? (besides upgrading my PS, or buying a new computer.  
    Is it better to purchase a graphics card with "fan" or "heatsink" listed as the cooling type? I could really use some help with this.
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and have increased the memory to 4GB. 
    These are a few of the cards I was looking at:
    Visiontek Radeon HD 6350 Graphic Card
    Asus Radeon R7 240 R7240-2GD3-L
    Asus GeForce GT 630 Video Card
    MSI Radeon HD 7770 R7770-PMD1GD5 Video Card
    PNY Commercial GeForce GT 520 Graphic Card
    Thank you.

    A little better research would have helped shorten the list............
    Visiontek Radeon HD 6350 Graphic Card    Limited to any two monitors simultanesouly in any version of Windows
    Asus GeForce GT 630 Video Card   requires 75 watts.  need 400w-500w PSU.
    Asus Radeon R7 240 R7240-2GD3-L  30 watts. Not likely, see below ***
    MSI Radeon HD 7770 R7770-PMD1GD5 Video Card  80 watts + 6 pin PCIE style PSU.
    PNY Commercial GeForce GT 520 Graphic Card  50Watts recommends 400W PSU
    ***PS: The actual max is 214 watts on the 12V line.
    This, at 19W and with an actual 3 monitor plug-setup might work. (Based on your desire not to replace 250W PSU).

  • HT1918 How do I add a second credit card to my account?

    I want to split my purchases to a private account and a business account. It seems like Apple only accepts 1 credit card...

    You can only have one credit card on your account at any one time - you will need to delete and enter the other card's details when you want to use it.

  • 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.

  • My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
    Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
    If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

  • How do i add a second itunes account on same email

    How do i add a second itunes account on the same email address?

    Create a new AppleID (or use a different one if you are already doing so), then sign onto the iTunes Store that way and set up payment etc.
    There's many other aspects to this question, including if you want this all to go to the same library, the same user account on the computer, etc.
    Warning: For the purposes of redownloading items (make sure you understand redownload vs. first time download) you can only change primary AppleID associated with a computer every 90 days.  For other things such as buying new items there is no restriction.
    Items purchase under one account cannot be transferred to another.  you will still always have to use the old ID for any purchase you made under that ID.

  • I am using photos . I add a camera and make my photos slide in.  How do I add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out.  I want the photo to hold on the screen for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.

    I am using photos in Motion 5.  I add a camera and make my photo slide in.  How do i add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out?  I want the photo to hold for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.  When I am trying to do this  I am not getting the photo to hold, i am making one continuous motion which I do not want.
    Thanks

    Are you using the "motion path" behavior? If so just duplicate it and drag it down the timeline to where you want it to start. Trim it to end at the end of the project. The gap you leave in the timeline between the two behaviors is your hold time. Not sure why you are using a camera unless you have a behavior on the camera.If you are using keyframes just set two keyframes at the same position values in the inspector for the hold time.

    How do I add a second page to a document in Pages 5.2?

    Hello jeddi17,
    You can insert a page break with the Insert (menu) > Page Break.
    Note if your typing overflows the first page, then a new page is automatically created.
    Pages for Mac 5.0: Change the flow of text
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15334
    Force text to the next line or page
    A line break, also called a soft return, starts a new line without starting a new paragraph. A page break moves the next line of text to the top of the next page.
    Click where you want the break to occur.
    Do one of the following:
    For a line break: Press Shift-Return. 
    For a page break: Click Insert in the toolbar, then choose Page Break.

    Your single license allows you to have two active installations, meaning you can have it installed and enabled on two machines.  You can have the software installed on as many machines as you like, but only two of them can be in an activated state at a given time.
    As far as using the two machines at the same time goes, the jury is currently out on that - I had the question in for clarification but did not get a response yet.  They recently rewrote the license agreement and the portion that explicitly stated you cannot use the two at the same time was either removed or relocated somewhere else that I have yet to find.
    If you mean that you want to have another machine licensed for someone else to use then you need to buy a new license for that other person.
