Lenovo pci card help please

hello all
please can someone help me i have a lenovo H330 decktop pc 2/3 years old
it has 2 x 2.0 usb ports in front i want to replace with usb 3.0 pci card is it possable
or will i have to replace ports at rear instead
also were would be the cheapest place to buy amerzon or maplins ?
also what one do i need to buy ?
thank you paul

hi Paul,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Looking at the IdeaCentre H330 specs, the machine natively supports USB 2.0 only so you cannot replace the front USB ports with USB 3.0. However, you're still be able to add a USB 3.0 port by getting a PCIe x1 USB 3.0 card.
- Link to picture
If you're planning to use more than 3 USB 3.0 devices at the same time, you will need:
1. A USB 3.0 PCIe x1 card (like this item).
Note:
The card requires a 5V external power. If there's no available molex connector on the machine, you will need to use the 5V 4 Pin Male Power Connector and set it up as shown in this picture. After setting it up, load up the cd and install the driver.
2. (Optional) For convenience, you can add a USB 3.0 Extension Cable.
I'm not familiar with amerzon or maplins but you can try getting these on amazon or a local retailer.

Firewire 400 pci card: help

A friend of mine installed a Firewire 400 pci card to expand my firewire capability-- it worked for 2 months and just died. Has anyone had this problem? Please share your thoughts and advice. Does this mean I have to buy another one, merely 2 months of use?
Thanks

Hi k chen:
Can you give us some more detail about your computer, and its age, and the name and manufacturer of the firewire card? With that we maybe able to help

Graphics card help please

Hey guys I asked for help recommending a video card but I am afraid I need more help.
I have ordered the Sapphire X800 XT VIVO PE and should be with me in a week. I decided on this card over the 6800 GT and Ultra as from a lot of benchmarks I have seen it runs at faster frame rates at higher resolutions on current games (1600x1200) such as UT2004 etc.
However obviously the card isn't cheap and I want to make ABSOLUTELY sure I am doing the right thing. The 6800 Ultra and the X800 XT-PE are the same price so I can go with eathier.
The reason I am asking is from what people have been talking about is that the 6800 card may have better technology in the long run and so in future games it will perform better where as the ATI X800 XT is more solid in current games.
I want to future-proof my computer the best I can with my money for all the latest games (Doom 3, Half life 2, Vampire Redemption, KOTOR Sith lords etc).
The 6800 Ultra taking up a PCI slot also isn't an issue for me.
I want your opinions please on what card will be better overall. I know the GT is the best option for price/performance but I want the BEST card, price isn't an issue (for once).
Any advice greatly appreciated, help me spend my money wisely

Nevermind guys have cancelled the X800 XT and have a BFG OC 6800 Ultra 256mb on the way

Dual Displays, and Dual Vid Card Help Please :-( 30'' Cinemas

Hello all, I just recieved my 30'' Cinema Displays from the Fedex man this morning and am having a bit of trouble getting everything up and running.
My System is:
Windows XP Home
AMD Fx-57
2GB Corsair XMS DDR 400 Ramm
Asus Asi-8 Premium Board
Dual Evga 7800 GTX 256mb PCIe x16 Cards
Currently at my disposal to make this work I have:
2x 30'' Cinema Displays
2x Evga Nvidia 7800 GTX 256mb PCIe x16 Cards
I say this because no matter what I do I cannot get both moniters to function properly.
At first I had had both cards in my desktop running SLI, and I attempted to plug in the monitors, neither would turn on when I booted up the pc, I tried every array I could possibly think of to even get some activity out of both, or even a SOLO monitor with the cards on SLI Mode.
Eventually I just grabbed one of the cards out, so that I was running on a single 7800 GTX card.
WHAM both monitors booted up normally heres the problem Im now faced with, in this mode I can set one monitors resolution (whichever monitor I have set as primary) to the normal maximum allowed by the 30'' Cinema.
The problem comes when faceing the other monitor which is stuck at 1280 x800, giving a very wierd look and panning feel.
Is there any way at all to make theese work?
I dont care If i have to go down to 1 card, or even go buy a new card
I just want both monitors to be running at high res.
Thanks a bundle,
Nick

You have to look at the specs for your video cards, but it looks like your video card only supports one dual-link DVI and the other connection is single-link DVI. You need a card with dual dual-link DVI outputs. I believe the high end ATI X1800 and X1900 video cards support this.
I'm not familiar with SLI to help there.

Dlink Network Card Help Please

At my school in the radio and tv classes we use the network to tranfer video files and such. One of the G4s built in ethernet card has broken pins. My teacher bought a Dlink DFE-530tx+ and I'm in charge of getting it working.
I've installed the PCI adapter, and I installed the drivers. The problem is I can't get the card recognized in the Network Preferences. Has anybody had any experience with this card?
Any help would be great, thanks

I can't use my VISA card - help please

Hi, I have a normal debit card which I use all over the internet, abroad etc. But suddenly now, this one doesn't work. It keeps me saying that my card is not a registrated card in the Czech Republic, and so it does also with my travelling debit card.
Do you think this is just a system failure becouse the czech iTunes service was started on Thursday?
I had a problem even with signing up to the Czech iTunes, becouse when I got to my card and billing information, when I wrote my card # and the 3-digit code, a dialog box popped up informing me that iTunes servers cannot be connected - so then I choose NONE as a payment method, but now this is happening...
I beg you for any help, thanks.

Gift card help - PLEASE

I bought a so called "$50.00" gift card from ebay. But I was sent several codes which actually totaled to 50 songs (not $50.00 credit). SO that means that I can't buy anything that costs more than $.99. Is it possible to convert 50 song into $50.00???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much

Sorry, no. This is misrepresentation on the eBay seller's part which Apple has no control over. Song credits are just exactly that, a credit to allow you to download a single song of your choice. I would notify eBay & take this up with the seller.

IMac Graphics card (help please!!)

Hi there!
I am using the newest iMac 21.5 inch with the 2.7 ghz i5 and the nvidia gt640m. I really want to play RCT3 which was released on appstore not too long ago, and the macchecker on some gaming website says my graphics can handle, but the list of supported graphics cards on the mac appstore page for the game lists the following as compatable:
NVIDIA GeForce 8600, 8800, 9400, 9600, GT 120, 320M, 330M, 650M
Does this mean that my GT640M will not be supported like the GT650M and other lower end graphics card are? I know that this game also supports intel HD 4000, I might even be willing to purchase an MBP with HD 4000 to play this game (if I haveto.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'd tend to think they just haven't tested the 640M, since far lesser cards are supported.

External Drives Won't Mount with SIIG Fire WIre 800 PCI Card

I can't get any drive to mount using this card. It's the SIIG FW 800 3 port PCI card. I've also got the SIIG FW 400 and I think a Belkin 5 port usb PCI card. I've removed the other cards leaving just the 800. I've moved them all around into different slots. Nothing Changed. I've reset the PRAM and the NVRAM. I've Unplugged system and let it sit for a while. I've had only one drive connected to the 800 card and no other 400, 800 or usb peripherals connected. That didn't help either. Again, this is the second card, so I have to assume that the odds of getting to bad cards in a row is a long shot... right? I have to assume that it's the G5 but the other cards work when put into any of the PCI slots. I know all the drives work. I'm just kind of baffled here. Oh, and in the system profiler the drive shows up as "Unknown Device" but it never mounts on the desktop. Also drives connected to the 800 PCI card don't show up in programs like Diskwarrior or Drive Genius. Starting the drive while Disk Utility is open also does nothing. So, I'm at a loss. I spoke with SIIG tech support and they said they had no idea but they could test the card if I send it to the. That would at least confirm or deny if the card is faulty. I think the card is ok and the mac is just messing with it somehow? Any Ideas? Could resetting the PMU help? I've also cleared my cache and defragged and rebuilt the data directory and all the usual utility stuff. So the system is peppier but still no drives mounting on the 800 pci card? Please shout out if you have an idea... Thanks..

I eventually gave up. I will probably get another card at some point but it probably won't be a SIIG card. Even though they are recommended by digidesign I just doesn't seem to want to work with my G5. Maybe it's some kind of weird software conflict blocking the functionality of the card? Don't know. Two cards in a row were non functional. Something is gummin up the works and the PCI slots work with the other cards I have. The only thing I did not try is plugging in the optional power connection to the FW800 card, which is supposed to be optional. I called SIIG and they had no idea what the problem was and they also said that the power plug would not make a difference for the problem I was having. Anyway, I'm gonna keep monitoring posts to this cause I'd love to hear the answer.. but I'm throwing in the towel. Good luck to the rest of you still trying to solve the riddle.

Upgrading pci card in my macbook

No you cannot upgrade the graphics. It is an integrated chip set.

Help please ; which G-based PCI card will work on MDD?

Hi there,
Based on what I've learned from this forum, the BroadComm chipset is needed in wireless PCI cards if these are to work on our Macs (MDDs). However, finding if this chipset is the one has proven to be at best, an exercise in futility.
NewEgg has the following card on sale (Rosewill 802.11b/g PCI Wireless Card, model no. RNX-G300LX, for $13.99. Coupon code "EMCBBBJCC" chops it to $8.99. With free shipping!). The technical specs claim that the card works under OS 10.3,10.4,10.5.
Has anyone had positive experiences with this brand (or any other for that matter)? I do want to add a G-type PCI card but can't figure out which one will work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Jacobo

From the product photos on Rosewill's site it looks like that card uses an RALink chipset (the RA 2651T, I think). RALink has Mac drivers for its wireless chipsets from 10.3-10.4 on its website here:
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html
Those drivers should allow you to use that card on your Mac in OS X - since it doesn't use a Broadcom chipset, it wouldn't work in OS 9. I don't know how well they work (the card I'm using in my Sawtooth now is a RT-Link card) but I know Linksys currently uses RALink chipsets in their 802.11b/g PCI cards (WMP54G v4.1) and people have used RALink's posted drivers to use those cards in their Macs.
AFAIK, no currently shipping wireless PCI cards use Broadcom chipsets.

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help please...

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help me please...

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

SB X-fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E Not working correctly help please

Hi i have a SB X-fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E card on my pc , i have currently installed windows 7 and for months now i am trying to make the card work ..

I have tried all the latest drivers and stil have the same problem.. HELP PLEASE !!

First, uninstall all creative drivers, console, from add/remove. Restart computer install: . X-Fi Xtreme Audio Series Driver .04.0000 from creative website. 2.X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .03.0002 from creative website. 3. install Creative Console from here: http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/PAX-Console-Launcher-V-0/td-p/549970 * PAX Console, Modded Original Console, but newer then Creative) or this creative console: CSL_PCAPP_LB_2_6_09.exe ( it creative original console) With this console you will have bass, treble, etc, BUT you need to open ConsoLCu.exe from Program Files/Creative/Console Launcher. ConsoLCu.exe have all the options you need. Creative forget about thier sound board, thier drivers, bass, treble, etc, about customers. If you install thier drivers from their website you will not have BASS, and also an crappy sound. You need to install Creative Console from google, or from http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/PAX-Console-Launcher-V-0/td-p/549970 to have bass, crystalizer, etc. I also have Creative Audio PCI-e board..... crappy chipset, just like Sb Li've 24 biti PCI.
