my comp had a virus so had to be wiped clean recently. now my video card isnt active, and idk how to fix it so i can use secondlife again = ( does anyone know how? please let me know ways to fix it.
also, its a used computer so i dont have any instillation cds and cant afford to get anything...so a way around taht would be great please|||are you getting any picture to your monitor? you need the driver for the card which is a file that tells your computer how to use the video card. it can be found online if you know what kind of card its is. you might have to open your computer to find out, its really easy to find.

Is the video card for a HP G60-519WM Notebook PC integrated into the motherboard?
i need to know i am planning on upgrading my laptops video card and i don't know what video card i should get or if i can even upgrade my card at all please help|||"The graphics on most notebooks is integrated (fused with the motherboard) and cannot be upgraded. The G60 series is considered an entry-level or lower end model so it's not the best for gaming"

I wouldn't count on it. Like this guy said in another forum, most basic laptops use integrated graphics
you'd almost have to take the back off and try to find a removable graphics card.
I've taken laptops apart, they are more challenging than a desktop so, beware.

Video card that require more Watz than my computer?
well i just bougt NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS PCI today and it said require 300W or over but my computer is only 230W...
When I install the driver, the video card would'nt let me change the screen resolution and the color quality is 4bit.... is that the Watz problem? Does Watz effect that much to my computer? |||yes, a lack of power can and often does damage components also. I highly recommend getting yourself a name brand 500 watt or above power supply. |||Graphics cards have a minimum power wattage requirement for a reason. You'll have to upgrade your power supply, but make sure it's compatible with the maximum wattage allowed for your motherboard.

Need help choosing a video card for my pc?
I must admit I got hooked on WoW and need better graphic performance. I have no idea on what video card to get. I want to spend around $150. Please view my pc's specs to help me out.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/…|||well, you have the 64-bit windows, so you can have way more than the standard 4 GB with regular XP which means you can get a pretty powerful graphics card.
did you know what you bought when you bought this computer? id think someone who owns this computer would know what kind of card to get?
anyways..
see how it says:
PCI Express X16 Slots 1
that means you can put one PCI -E graphics card in there.
you can get any card that is PCI E and NOT agp
never buy the best card because every 3 months a newer one comes out and no one can keep up with it; so save your money.
you want a card with 1GB or more of memory
the best one i can think of would be the GeForce 9800 GT.
it would be on tigerdirect.com under EVGA GeForce 9800 GT Video Card|||When you look for a graphics card, see if it is a dedicated one, with at least 256-512 MB of RAM.
the one currently on your desktop is integrated
In other words, a dedicated gfx (graphics card) has its own RAM to work with. An integrated one shares memory with the actual computer RAM instead, which significantly lowers its performance|||heyy, i think if u could find a nvidea geforce 9800gt that would be perfect to run WOW. and looking at ure computer specs, you have the right slot for it sooo yeaaaa :):)
hopw this helps|||The ATI Radeon HD 4850 or Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 would work well. They're both PCI 2.0 x16 which should work with your rig.|||If you can get a 4870 for less than $150 then go for it.
I'm sure that even something like GeForce 9600GT or AMD 4850 will be more than sufficient for WoW

I play the Sims alot on our CPU and I need a new video card?
I have a Dell pentium 4..what would be the best video card for me|||Affordable price Nvidia 7600 series is your best bet. And make sure your memory is atleast 1GB, so you can play Sims without any lag or skipping.
Besides all of the info I gave the Nvidia 7600 series has download drivers from nvidia.com that actually don't encounter problems for it, unlike other Nvidia cards like 7900GT or 8800GTX encounter minor problems, which cause your computer to restart because you didn't download the proper driver.
Simple answer: Nvidia 7600 series, its affordable.|||most likely an agp nvidia 7800 ... it depends on what slot type u have|||I had that prolbem when I got the Sims 2 for the first time. I had a video card but it wasn't enough and it made the game skippy and I was getting very annoying at it but I got a better one I can't remeber the name of it but your best bet is to go to a place that sells electronic stuff like best buy and ask them they could tell you a lot more and help you out.

Good enough CPU, and video card. RAM not quite enough. What should I expect?
Talking specifically about Dragon Age: Origins. My CPU is 2.4 dual core, Video card is 1024mb but I have 2 GB Ram, which is in between the 1.5 required and the 3.0 recommended. What sort of things will this affect in game performance? Will it run smooth on a lesser setting?|||For starters, saying that your video card has 1GB means diddly squat. It could be a low end piece of crap or a high end powerhouse and have 1GB of RAM.
Second, 2GB doesn't quite cut the mustard, especially if you're running Vista or Windows 7. It'll run, but don't expect great things. 4GB of RAM is the sweet spot for gaming these days.
SEAN, if you think that Readyboost is even remotely close to physical RAM then I have a bridge to sell you. It's only slightly better than virtual memory on your hard drive, which is a completely piss-poor substitute for real RAM.|||it should be fine as long as your within the parameters set. However this is the minimum recommended most likely which can and will be affected by background progams such as your anti virus etc. go to canurunit by sytemrequirementslab to find out where you may need to improve. Click on the recommended tab to see that. Just click the dropdown menu and scroll to the dragon age version you are attempting to play.|||ugh. usually the minimum required is what allows something to run, it will look horrible but run. dunno about that game, but usually I'd have to tweak the setting waaay down for newer games. I just hope you aren't running vista.|||Simple, buy a cheap pen drive, 4gb. Put it into the usb, type ready boost into the start search box, apply and you now have an extra 4gb of ram. Daw.|||2gigs will probably be enough. i don't think an extra gig will help much, but if anything, it may slightly speed up how fast your game loads. that's about it.
