What is the limit on an AGP card?

Hi there
I have an MSI MEGA 865....it works brilliantly! I love this little thing.
My Sig below has my specs...
Im currently getting very low temps on both my system and cpu..both in the high 30's under load and the low 30's when idle.
Im wondering whats the upper limit of an AGP graphics card which i can put in there?
I have heard that a Geforce FX 6800 needs a very powerful power supply, like around 350-450Watts...so assuming this is true the 250Watt power supply which comes with the MSI MEGA 865 would not be enough to power it....
I have contacted the MSI tech support and they advised against getting the Geforce FX 6800...and suggested the Geforce FX 5700 or lower.
Im wondering if any1 here has a high powered geforce FX card in their MSI MEGA 865's...and could let me know how far i can go....i really want to do more than just watch movies on this thing...and want the best geforce FX i can get.
Any suggestions out there?

I use PNY card. Their earlier release of 5200 was with a heat sink. Now they all come with a fan. And mine that I bought back in May has a different fan from the other one that I bought just a week ago for my other WKS. The latest seems to be a better one in terms of construction but also appears to be by 1 or 2 mm thicker (can't say for sure as I haven't tried to swap them.
Also, AFAIK, the 5700 card line requires a separate power connection to the card off a PSU.

I use the software that came with my DVB-T card, called FusionHDTV
Don't know that one -- but one thing I sure -- if you getting HDTV off it -- your CPU util will be high -- and as a result lots of heat and fan activity to cool your system.
My personal opinion after a few months time playing with mega as an HTPC -- I'd get a different case. I really like the simplicity (and the price as well of the Antec Aria case But that is only my oppinion, and I could be wrong

    Hi Stefano,
    this is because some datasources deliver a real delta in terms of changes of keyfigures. So they deliver the decrement or increment of the keyfigure and nothing else.
    e.g;
    Attribute1  Attribute2 Keyfigure1
    xyz           abc          1000.00       "the original 'init' record
    xyz           abc          -100.00        "the first change but the real value should be 900 now
    xyz           abc          +200.00       "the second change, the real value should be 1100 now
    If you set up the keyfigure in overwrite mode in this case, you will end up with 200 instead of 1100.
    best regards
    Siggi

  • What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can use, and what file formats can be used?

    What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can read from and write to when inserted into the built-in 2-in-1 card reader? What file formats can be used with aforementioned MMC and SD cards?i.e. FAT, FAT 32, exFAT, etc.

    Thank you for you help. I forgot to mention what is the highest class of SD card it can use at top speed, and are there any classes that will simply not work? An example answer would be, the highest speed that it can operate at clase 6, with class 8 being the highest class compatible; class 10 will not work. Also note, there are new cards faster than class 10. I have seen symbols like U1 and U3. I don't expect a discount computer to run an SD card faster than class 10, but it is important to know if U1 and U3 at least work.

  • HT201209 What is the difference between iTunes Gift Card & iTunes Digital Code?

    What is the difference between iTunes Gift Card & iTunes Digital Code?

    iTunes gift cards are cards that you can purchase in the Apple Store or authorized retail store. After redeeming an itunes gift card, your account should have some store credits that is equal to the worth of the gift card that you redeemed. It's as good as money in the store.
    An iTunes digital code is a code that comes with a specific item when you redeem it. You do not have any choices for the item that you will get for the code. It can be a movie code or a video code.

    You said:  "I've never tried the restore function in disk utility. Would that be the same as cloning the drive?
    YES!  See the my old instructions below.  What you might try after step 5 is to restart you MBP holding down the Option key.  Select the new HDD icon and see if it boots.  This way you will know that the new HDD is operable.
    Ciao.
    INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MB
    1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
    2. You will need a HDD enclosure.  One with a USB connection will do.  A 9 pin Firewire is better.
    3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
    4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE.  From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field.  Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.  Click on the 'Erase' button.
    5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top).  Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination'  field.  Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
      Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more.  A Firewire will speed up the transfer.  This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
    6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives.  Start the MBP and you have finished the installation.  The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
    7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

  • Will the ATI Radeon 700 AGP card run two Studio 21 Displays?

    I just bought a G4 MDD 1.4 GHZ Mac that has what I assume was the stock video card, which appears to be for LCD displays, since the cables from my Apple 21" Studio displays (CRTs) don't match up to it (those are called VGA monitors, right?).
    On my present Mac (G4 Quicksilver) I am running both of these 21" Studio Displays, one plugged into the stock AGP card and the other connected to a PCI video card. As I prepare to switch over to my "new" MDD Mac now, I need to figure out how best to run the two monitors with this G4. (I will leave the video cards in the old Quicksilver and give it to a relative who also wants to run two monitors with it).
    I notice a new Radeon 7000 AGP card being offered on Ebay which has one VGA port, and they provide an adapter so that the second (DVI) port can also run a VGA monitor. If that card would run both my 21" Studio Displays independently as claimed, it would be the ideal solution, if the performance is adequate.
    I do lots of Photoshop(CS2)adjustment of digital camera images and also make video movies with Final Cut Express, iDVD, etc., with both monitors set to 1152 X 870 at 75 Hertz. Would such a card as this one be up to the task with both monitors?
    Every time I try to post the link to the Ebay auction for this card, everything in this text box disappears. So I'll just copy and paste the description of the card from the auction: "ATI Radeon 7000 64MB DDR Dual Monitor capable AGP Video Card with VGA, DVI-I, and S-Video Out and a DVI to VGA adapter. The video card has ATI's latest firmware (v226) with the latest ATI Displays support. It does not have any sleep issues. The card is capable of dual true independent/simultaneous monitor support with extended desktop. The adapter allows for dual VGA operation. This model has been tested in a G4 Tower, G4 Cube, and G5 with several versions of OS X including OS 10.4/Tiger. This card is guaranteed to work in any Macintosh G4 Tower, G4 Cube, or G5 Tower with OS 9.2.2 or later that has an available AGP slot."
    Sounds good---maybe too good to be true. Any drawbacks to such a setup as this?
    Any advice most appreciated.
    Tom

    Thanks for the info Malcolm. I checked out those links you provided, and it appears that buying two adapters for the presently-inistalled video card which would allow it to run two VGA monitors looks like a workable solution, all right. But it would be more expensive than just buying that Radeon AGP card to run both monitors, if the latter would work (that's what I'm still wondering).
    Also, I notice that the DVI to VGA adapter sold by Apple has some poor reviews and seems to have glitches. It is reported by several people to be unreliable and seems to turn a lot of displays magenta, and in other cases requires a lot of wiggling or careful positioning to make it work right. Sounds like Apple needs to work on the design.
    I appreciate the info, but I'm still favoring the Radeon 700 AGP card if someone can tell me it might work.
    As to which card my Mac has in it right now, I can't tell just by looking at it (why don't they put an identifying sticker or something on the things?) and I can't connect any of my VGA displays to it yet to let the Mac report what it has in it, so it's still a mystery.
    Thanks again,
    Tom

  • What is the limit size for a datafile

  • Oct 2010 - What are the options for Cuda supported cards ?

    Hi everyone,
    I was just on the Adobe website, and although they say they update their list of CUDA supported video cards, I haven't seen any change
    in many months.
    at this point in time ( Oct 2010 ) what is the least expensive option available for Premiere's CUDA's options enabled ?
    Thanks everyone !
    Dave.

    Hi Eric,
    thank you for that suggestion, I'll do that tonight.   I'll take note of the version that was on the CD too.
    Harm,
    Not sure if I can say this, but I just installed version 5.02, and then loaded a project........... all I can say is...... Premiere with
    this new video card that enables Mercury effects is almost better than sex !! LOL.  I said "almost" now, let's not forget that :-)
    Anyone who works with Premiere, and has been for years,  and has now bought a new CUDA supported video card knows what I'm talking about.
    My mouth dropped on the floor..... I loaded up 5 or 6 layers of graphic overlays,  ... Premiere played that footage as it would with no effects,
    I could not believe my eyes.
    I then realized I had playback set at the best setting ! , that blew me away even more Harm.  I just cannot get my head around how this is going to change my editing life.
    A HUGE huge huge shout out to Adobe for doing this.  You know how you can listen to others talking about something for months, and you just nod your head and say "that sounds great" , well you just don't fully appreciate just HOW GREAT it is, until you experience it yourself.
    amazing is all I can say Harm !  I thank you for steering me in the correct direction some months ago,  and I'm so happy I finally made the plunge !
    Dave.

  • What is the mechanism behind processing credit card payment on net?

    Excuse my ignorance, i just completely dont have any knowledge about it. Here is what i thought: when a customer submit his/her credit card information on a e-commerce site, the site's server will make remote request to Bank's(?) server, which would verify the information user has provided, payment would be proceeded if those information is correct and sends message back to the e-commerce site's server. Or if the payment cant not be proceeded,the e-commerce site's server receives error message possibly saying the user's credit card info can not by verified. someone plz correct me if there are any mistake.
    So, how can i simulate this mechanism on a single pc? What i thought was i need to set up a db on mysql which simulates the bank's db, stores people's credit card info. For the e-commerce site i run on Tomcat, i may set up db connection(JDBC) to this db and verify user's credit card info. But i dont think this is how it works in reality, isn it? It would be possibly using java RMI(i am just guessing, havent digged into this area yet) to complete the task. So, if this is the case, can i simulate it on a single pc? Or do i have to phycially have two PCs, have both of them connected to my house's LAN, one runs e-commerce website on tomcat, the other runs mysql db server, then i can start simulating it by using java RMI? This is just something i've been wondering these day. As the uni's long holiday getting closer, i am thinking of giving myself a project gotta be something like this, so i would not get bored during the holidays. I really wish someone would explain me some ideas. Many many thanks...

    If you're asking if you can run the database server on
    the same machine as Tomcat, yes you can. (Although in
    a real e-commerce site, that would be less secure than
    having the database server behind a firewall.)
    yes, i am runing both mysql db and Tomcat on my pc. So, i am wondering that i could possibly set up two separate databases, one holds data for whatever e-commerce site i am going to build, and the other simulates the bank's database that stores peope's credit card information, which can be accessed by the e-commerce site's JSP pages thru RMI for the purpose of validating credit card information. On the other hand, honestly, i am even asking myself what's the point or purpose of doing it in such a way? In fact, this is one of my subjects' project, that we've been given much flexibility about the way we simulate/implement the interaction between e-commerce site and bank's database. The goal is just trying to make it as close to what's happening in reality as possible. I was thinking of just creating a table that holds users' credit card information and put it with other e-commerce's site db tables altogether. But that just sounds like too far away from how it is done in reality, doesnt it? That's why i came up with the above ideas, what still not sure if it's proper way of doing it. Jesus, i am missed....
    If you are asking how an e-commerce site really
    interacts with a bank for credit card validation, I
    have no idea. But you could simulate that with a
    database, although I'm pretty sure the real method
    doesn't involve JDBC or RMI or any Java-specific
    technology.so, does anyone have ideas about how it is implemented in real life?
    many many thanks...
