Model hp a622n desktop ... upgrade video graphics card for Windows 7

I have a hp a622n desktop that has a Micro Star International motherboard. 
The Serial Number of the motherboard is 4311483428 ... bus clock 100 mghz ... Bios Award Software 3 26 05/09/2005
My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster  s/n GS19H9NX601526
Intel 82845 G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller 
It came with Windows Xp and I have done a clean install of Windows 7
I am able to use the monitor but ... when trying to activate the screen saver or putting it into the sleep mode ... I get a message that I need a video graphics card that supports 3D ...
Through my research I have found that a Radeon X1300 card ... #400558-001that is supposed to solve this problem ... 
I was told that I need a PCI card ... 
I have located this board at VisionTek ... their customer service told me to make sure that the motherboard will work with this ...
Will this board work ?  and are there other boards out there that would also work ?
Thanks ...
This question was solved.

Lets start out with that is an antique system with limited options because it only has PCI slots and no normal video card.  The card you are asking about does have "High Definition 3D Performance & Image Quality to Your PC"  If you are considering getting one, try the EBay market as this is really old hardware and you can get one for near nothing.  For Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Visiontek-Radeon-X1300-Graphics-Card-256MB-128bit-900106-/191175474229
Just make sure the one ordered is the PCI version.
There are other possible choices: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187213

  • Can one upgrade the graphic card for Imac (intel based)?

    can one upgrade the graphic card in an Imac (intel based)?

    While anything is theoretically possible, you would need to find another GPU that is compatible with your specific model iMac, and you would need to modify OS X to use a driver appropriate for whatever you propose to install. Future OS X updates would break it in short order. Not only that, you'd void whatever warranty that remains. It's not worth it.

  • Upgrading a Graphics card for PowerBook G4?

    I have a Dual 1GHz Power PC G4, with I am assuming an ATY, RV250 VRAM 64MB Graphics Card. Is there a better or more powerful card on the market today to upgrade what I have? Are there web sites that will help me understand the differences in graphics cards and their specs? Thanks for any info.

    I have FCP 5.1.4 also, and I find it's gated not by the video card, rather, by the speed of the system, and to a lesser degree, amount of memory. When I encode, I turn off FCP displaying what it's doing, so that everything can go into the encoding.
    To maximize it's encoding speed, ensure you have lots of empty disk space, have maxed out the memory, and of course nothing else running while it's encoding. I tilt the back up 3/4" or so, to get the maximum amount of airflow for cooling. Continguous disk space can be a good thing for video usage, and this Apple note talks to it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1375?viewlocale=en_US . Too bad they stopped making 7200 parallel ATA hard drives, as that could help encoding speed a bit too.

  • Upgradeing the graphics card on the 3000 N100

    I am wondering if its possible to upgrade the graphics card for my Lenovo 3000 N100. I play Eve Online and would like to be able to upgrade to there premium graphics package. Also, I was told that I should reload my OS about every 3 months on my laptop. Is this true? I run the windows vista that came with the laptop and have had no problems with it. If I need to do it I will. I just dont know if its true or not. And when it comes to computers, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. Lol! Not even close to it. So any advice would be greatly welcomed. Thanks for your time and help.

    Usually (95% I've met) notebooks are not upgradeable with videocard. You can replace CPU/memory/HDD and even some cards like WiFi&Bluetooth, but not video. This is due to different heatsink design in different models and also different vide module sizes, while CPUs/Memory/HDD have their standarts, which makes the replacement easier.
    Regarding OS:
    Not a problem for me to reinstall an OS since I do it for others twice a week usually. So I have something to say here. While using a system it's getting filled with garbage. More applications you install - more garbage you have. Registry corrupts, temp files are collected... No need to reinstall until your system is completely unoperational.
    So.
    You just have to clean temp folders from time to time (run %tmp% and %temp% to view your temp folders), check your system by CCleaner for garbage and corrupted registry and (if you want) use Ashampoo Uninstaller. This program is extremely helpfull. It analyses system before install and after. Makes a log. Then you just uninstall it by Ashampoo - all is wiped out. All registry keys (including those hidden for trial and shareware progs) and all files af that soft you uninstall. You keep your system as clean as it possible - like it's Windows's first run. Only onething worrying me - never tried it for Vista.

  • Do I need upgraded graphics card for photography with 24" iMac ?

    I'm very close to ordering a new 24" iMac. I'm a photographer, shoot RAW & process in Adobe Lightroom beta, and can't seem to find out if I would benefit from the upgraded video / graphics card option. If this just for gaming and video or would I see some benefit from having it for my photo applications? I'm also debating on the value of ordering the higher speed processor for the iMac. I know RAM is the most important thing but not sure if I'm wasting $$$ on the graphics card and speed upgrades. Hope one of the experts here can help me make the right decision. I'm currently using a 20" G5 iMac with 1.5 gigs of RAM with decent success.

    Here is my personall philosophy on purchasing computers. Buy the best you can with in your budget. If your budget allows the cpu upgrade and the video card upgrade get it. Once you order, you won't be able to upgrade again and who knows what the future holds. It will also help to future proof your computer. If you only buy once every 3 or 4 years then getting the better cpu and graphics card will help tide you over near the end. Also, your computing habits my change in the future. You might decide you like doing video and then the 9600 gt card will indeed help. I just don't like limiting my future use by my buying decisions today.

  • Just got a new monitor, and Firefox says I need to upgrade my graphics card?

    When I open Firefox, my screen goes black, then when it comes up, it has a canvas texture. I can't see the pictures clearly, even my desktop looks like a painter's canvas (texture). The troubleshooter said I needed to upgrade my graphics card, however Windows XP wouldn't let me upgrade the card.

    The Radeon HD 6450 has pixel shader version 5.0.
    I do not know what version vertex shader it has, but I would have to assume it is better than what your onboard graphics has.

  • Graphics Card for hp dv7 6135dx

    Hi i just would really like to know if there is any way to upgrade my graphic card for my laptop?

    Hi:
    Yes, you can upgrade the video card from your existing one, to any of those listed in chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below, starting on page 26.
    In order to upgrade the video on your notebook however, the entire motherboard needs to be replaced.
    The costs attendant to doing such an upgrade would exceed the cost of buying a new notebook with the graphics solution you want, after selling or trading yours in.

    Hi:
    The only advice I can offer is to make sure you change the 2 BIOS settings required to be changed when you install a non-HP video card.
    See this link...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​dlc=en&docname=c03653200&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us​...
    Also before you install the new video card, make sure you uninstall the driver from the old video card, shut down the PC and then install the new video card.
    To uninstall the driver, go to the device manager, click to expand the display adapters category, right click on the display adapter listed there, select uninstall and check the uninstall driver box.  Do not reboot as prompted, shut the PC down.
    However, I have no idea if the video card you intend to install is compatible with your PC.

  • Upgrading graphics card for Pavilion 500-314 Desktop PC

    I am looking to upgrade the graphics card in my HP Pavilion 500-314 Desktop PC. I was looking around and saw some forums that said it would be very difficult to do so with this PC and I have found a few that said it is absolutly possible. Unforunatly none of those forum posts were from this site except one that did not give much explanation, so I figured I would just ask.
    The graphics card that comes with this PC is decent enough to run most current games, just not at the level I would prefer. I am not looking for the most cutting edge ultra mega super gamer graphics card, just something this PC can handle that would be an upgrade with 2GB dedicated vram.
    Thank you in advance for any help you guys can give me!
    PS This will be my first upgrade I have ever done on a PC myself outside of the ram on this same PC, so please try to keep that in mind with any explanation/answer .

    Your system has UEFI BIOS, so you'll need to understand Secure Boot. Then read this to change settings.   For gaming, I would go here, and do the "Can I Run It" quiz.  Would recommend a Corsair 600W PSU.

  • Video/Graphic Card Upgrade

    Hello,
    I am looking to upgrade/replace my current video/graphic card to new one so that I am able to do video/photo editing (Adobe Photoshop CS6)
    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
    Here is my Video/Graphic Card infor:
    Adapter: Inter(R) HD Graphics Family
        Current resolution: 1920x1080
        Refresh rate: 60
        Version: 8.15.10.2291 (1/27/2011)
    Graphics memory: 1,696MB
    Aero status: Enabled
    Thanks for your help.

    Here are the System Requirements for PS CS6.
    The problem that you are facing is, the power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W.  Any of the video cards that will work properly with it will not be much better than the Integrated Video.  Therefore, it will require a PSU upgrade, as well.  I normally recommend at least 500W, but 600W is better for future upgrades.  I like Corsair products.  Any standard ATX PSU will work.
    Now, for a video card.  The video card that you buy should be PCI Express x16.  A generation 2.0 or 3.0 will be backward compatible, but you will not get full benefit of it.  I recommend finding a card that you like and making a template of it.  If the card has extra PCIe power connectors, you should add at least 1" to the template.  This will help you determine if the card will fit into the space provided.  Here is a card the will do what you need.  You should definitely make a template to assure that it will fit into the space provided.  If not, it will give you a good idea of what you need.

  • 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

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

    Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
    If you can help, please tell me,
    Thankyou.

    No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
    Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
    Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
    Good luck - write back with any questions.
