Albatron 8600 GT.

This is allegedly the most powerful PCI video card on the market. It is the Albatron 8600 GT PCI card. I cannot concieve of how it could actually be that good considering that...

The integrated graphics that come with a lot of the newer motherboards is actually far better than a PCI video card. For instance, I was able to play Doom 3 on medium settings on a board with the...

You guys are totally ignoring his last post. His board only has the old PCI. An 8800 GTS is certainly not going to run on a PCI 1 slot. About the best he can do with a PCI 1 slot is an Nvidia 6200....

"Your mobo must be having a PCI-express slot..."

And you base that on what? He says its an Intel 915GL motherboard, but that is a type of chipset, not a type of board. As you can see on the links...

1) The Ram on the graphics card had nothing to do with your system RAM.

2)
*PCI-Express slots are usually black on OEM systems, and older machines, like yours, there will only be one.
*AGP...

You can get a 9800 GTX+ off of eBay for $110 now. Its at least twice as powerful as an HD 3850. The 9800 GTX+ is roughly on par with an HD 4870. The GTX 260 is really not any better than the 9800...

You mean you saw a spark on the back of your computer's ATX case? The CPU refers to the processor alone.

Honestly, it sounds like a cap in the power supply exploded because it was being over...

The best price I've seen for a 4850 is about $95 US currency from newegg. This is roughly equal to 4,753 rs, if you are talking about Indian currency.

There is usually no discernible performance...

If it uses a Pentium 4, then it most likely either has AGP or PCI express 1.0a.

Intel Chipset & AGP: Nvidia 7600 GT, 7900 GS, or the very rare 7950 GT AGP.
ATI Chipset & AGP: X1950 pro, 3850 AGP...

I had this exact same problem once and I wound up going in to the device manager and disabling the on-board video. Hybrid SLI is difficult to implement and really has not been worthwhile in my...

E4300 will not discernibly bottleneck that card. However, your memory and motherboard chip-set may be a different story. That chip-set is pretty terrible.

You absolutely should not use a 400 watt power supply to attempt to run a 9800 GT, regardless of its advertised amperage or features.

Get at least a 500 watt, with at least the recommended...

5 year old games, like Quake 4, do not really test the performance of that card. You do not need to overclock that card in anyway. That is like considering putting a Cheetah on anabolic steroids...

According to just about every benchmark I can find on the internet, two 4870 in crossfire have almost identical to performance to single 4870 X2.

According to just about every benchmark I can find...

1) Use PC Wizard 2008 and Speed Fan to see the temperatures of the card's GPU. The first one is more reliable, but both should see about the same temperatures.

2) Use Rivatuner to change the fan...

You need to get two water-cooled, factory-overclocked GTX295 video cards in SLI, an i7 965 extreme edition processor, 16 GB of DDR 3 RAM, and a 1200 watt power supply to run WOW on acceptable...

Someone else may have a similar question and may find this thread useful, so I see no wrong in responding.

First, you will not save money by choosing a 256 MB card over a 512 MB card. Most cards...

The 9600 GT only uses one six pin adapter and not an 8 pin adapter. For that card you do not need an 8 pin adapter.

The 9600 GT only uses 95 watts maximum draw at stock speeds. A low profile 9600...

Go for the 9600 GT. There are also models of the 9600 GT, by Sparkle and Galaxy, which are low form factor and use even less power than a 7600 GT. So if you want to avoid upgrading your power supply,...

I have noticed a few things when trying to get computers to consistently recognize external drives through USB.

1) VERY IMPORTANT: Do not have the external hard disk's AC adapter plugged into a...

Some people seem to be overlooking that the poster is referring to PCI-Express 1.0a and NOT 1.1. There is a BIG difference. A newer card designed for PCI-Express 2.0 will work in a PCI-Express 1.1...
