Old Socket A motherboards and new cards like 7800GS and 6800GS

Me and my girlfriend have the systems that are writen in my signature and the 2 comps work fine and no problem there but i would like to try and upgrade the graphic cards a bit so i heard that they hade done new versions of 6800 and 7800 for agp8x and they are called 6800GS and 7800GS and i was thrilled  and i was almost ready to buy one 7800GS for me and one for my girlfriend when i read on the net that there is a risk that the card wont work on my computer cause my old socket a board chip wont work with the new style of graphics card but i wonder we all ready run with the 6600 cards and arent they from the new line of graphic cards ??
So my big question is are there any type of risk that a new 7800GS wont work on my MSI K7N2 DELTA2 Platinum MS-6570 motherboard ?
It would be lovley if it could work cause then i can rest my wallet a while longer before i buy new cpu and motherboard etc cause the system i have now works more then fine for DoD:s, CS:s, Quake4, WoW etc etc.
I would be glad if some one could help me with this.

Before you go SLI you should read up on Crossfire.   Yes I'm an ATI fan, no I don't think you should pick ATI if you are stuck on Nvidia.    But if you want the best bang for the buck the X1800/X1900 on ATI Crossfire Boards are smoking everything Nvidia has on the market and expected to burn the next series of chips they release also.  Then the R600 is expected to compete with the G80.
And no, not trying to turn this into an Nvidia/ATI war.  I just think people should do as much research as they can before choosing technologies.  And, if they aren't a diehard fan of one or the other, go with the one that can offer the best performance.

  • Move Windows 8.1 Pro Hard Drive, Graphics Card and Programs to New Motherboard and CPU

    Want to move everything, hard drive, installed programs, video card, network adapter, ram drive, DVD, from one computer to another, nothing will change except motherboard and CPU.  Old motherboard and CPU will be installed in a new computer case which
    will revert back to a Windows 7 Pro computer with a fresh install and no programs to be used as a dedicated CAD work station. Motherboard and CPU swap will be the only change, even the RAM will be the same.  What activation problems will I encounter,
    I do not want to re-install anything, if possible.

    Hi,
    I would like to confirm what kind of licensing you used on Windows 8.1, the OEM or the retailed.
    For the OEM one, the Windows 8.1 transferred to another new Motherboard will not be activated.
    For the retailed one, you should find that the system will boot with the new motherboard, install some drivers then boot successfully.
    You will need to use telephone activation for the updated system, but should not need to re-install. When warned that you need to activate, select the "Contact Microsoft Customer Support" option and follow the instructions. With a tone dial phone
    you can do this without speaking to anyone. See http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/24636-activate-windows-8-phone.html

  • I blew my motherboard on an old computer and hooked my old hard drive to the new computer and want to transfer my bookmarks to the new drive but cannot find where they are located on the old drive--any help?

    My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I purchased a new computer and hooked my old hard drive to it through a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my bookmarks from the old hard drive to my new one, but I cannot find where they are. I was unable to determine this from searching articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing but a storage place for files at this point. My old operating system was windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.

    I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because the issue is registered to when i was in America and i require to pay the funds from an American source. Any ideas how i can resolve this? It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK. I think i have posted this in the wrong area but anyone got any ideas?
    I have managed to change the rest of my accoutn being registered to the UK i think except this

    Hi..
    You can email Apple for help but the link is for the iTunes store not the Mac App Store. You've inadvertently poasted in the Using Mac App Store forum but that's ok. Billing issues are the same for the iTunes Store.
    Click here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
    It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK
    Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • HT1316 Can i put my SIM card from my old iphone 5 into my new Iphone 5 i just purcahed? And will my phone start working?

    Can i put my SIM card from my old iphone 5 into my new Iphone 5 i just purcahed? And will my phone start working?

    Yes all of the iPhone 5 family use the nano sim, so as long as you did not switch to a phone locked to another network it will work.  But you do need to go through the activation/setup procedure with tHat sim.

  • I want to burn my old cd's and have them in my iTunes library. Is there some "I" software that I can buy that will treat the new songs like "purchased" songs (i.e.: available for synching on all my devices)?

    I want to burn my old cd's and have them in my iTunes library. Is there some "I" software that I can buy that will treat the new songs like "purchased" songs (i.e.: available for synching on all my devices)?

    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    'With iTunes in the Cloud, the music you buy from the iTunes Store automatically appears on all your devices.1 And for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. iTunes Match is built right into iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iOS devices.2 It lets you store your entire collection in iCloud, even music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. When it’s in iCloud, it’s available on all your devices. So you can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV.'
    It costs $24.99 p.a.. Songs you've ripped from your CDs which are also in the Store will be recognized (hopefully) and be available: if they aren't in the Store you can uploads them. The limit is 25,000 songs (purchases do not count towards this limit). This is not part of the 5GB free storage.
    Incidentally, just to clarify the terminology so you don't get into confusion, you don't mean 'burn' (make a CD from existing files) you mean 'rip' (copy files from a CD onto your computer).

  • I created a spreadsheet on my mac with numbers, and now it tells me  I have to buy a newer version of numbers to access the spreadsheet I created with the old program.  if I wanted problems like that I would go back to using windows

    I created a spreadsheet on my mac with numbers, and now it tells me  I have to buy a newer version of numbers to access the spreadsheet I created with the old program.  if I wanted problems like that I would go back to using windows

    Hi sar23,
    You may have inadvertently created or edited the document in the new Numbers 3.0 (which is free; you don't have to buy it) and are now trying to open it with the old Numbers 2.3.
    Both versions can be on your Mac at the same time, and can run at the same time.  The icons are similar so it's easy to confuse them (old on top here, new on bottom).
    The new Numbers 3.0 is in your Applications folder. The old Numbers 2.3 should be in a subfolder in the Applications folder named iWork '09 or similar.
    If you accidently edited an old document in the new version and want to take to take it back to the old version, you can export it:

  • HT3702 Hi there, can somebody help me in showing me how to reset my credit card information on iTunes Store as I have the credit card and it seems like the system doesn't accept my new card.

    Good day, can someone show how to update a new credit card on iTunes Store as I have changed my credit card. It seems like the system doesn't accept the new infos but when investigated with apple store staff members, they said I had a previous purchase to complete for the payment in order to update my new infos. Does Apple have authorization credit card form? So that I can authorize them to finalize the previous purchase payment with a new card.

  • The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

    Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
    https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
    The Crew - Launch Trailer
    PC configuration:
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K
    RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
    VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
    SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
    CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
    The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
    Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
    The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
    Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
    The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
    New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
    The dragon symbol on LED panel
    With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
    6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
    Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
    An overview of the very gaming look system.
    Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
    CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
    3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
    3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
    3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
    The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
    Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
    The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
    FPS: Average frames is at:
    Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
    The comments of the game for your reference:
    There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
    Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
    Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
    The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
    The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
    (The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
    Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
    According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
    Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
    The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.     
    Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

    NVIDIA 960 card  + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
    it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

  • I have a problem with a previous purchase and sign in is required. However, the card is no longer in use and so no money can be billed from it. I need to add a new card so that the money can be taken from that card instead. It's from a different country

    I have an Australian card associated with itunes and the App Store. However, I am no longer in Australia and I wish to change my country of residence and card to the UK/English. When I try to change country, it says there's a problem with a previous purchase, meaning I have no money on the Australian card and therefore the previous purchase cannot be billed.
    The only way I can pay for the previous purchase is by adding an English card but it won't let me do this.
    Does this mean I have to somehow put money on the old Australian card to pay for the previous purchase? Or is there a way I can transfer the bill to an English new card?
    Cheers guys

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

    Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games. 

    Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.
