Alritey, I'm trying to get my computer upgraded a little bit and my budget is like around 300$. I was looking around for a graphics card and a lil bit more memory. Here are my specs. http://www.cicero.ca/en/Products/MC%202010...cifications.cfm Thanks for all the help in advance.
Yeah it had this little thing..Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 for the graphics card. And Ill I know is that my computer isn't a PCE-I
your video isnt a graphics card; its integrated graphics (on the motherboard). also, it's pci-e, not pce-i There isn't much you can do for the thing to upgrade it graphics wise. Also, it uses DDR memory, which is kind of outdated. I'm not sure what to suggest, maybe chris does.
lol, my bad i always screw over my letters. I hope I can upgrade this piece of crap The guy at futureshop did not pick the right computer for me -_-
chances are if it has INT GFX it also DOES NOT have an AGP port, can you tell us what chipset the motherboard uses? http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-139.zip likely 800 something - like 845 or 835etc.
well, there isn't much at all you can do with that. As far as I know, all/most intel motherboards with a 915 chipset do not have an AGP slot, and you said it doesn't have PCI-e, which limits you to just a PCI graphics card.... and all of those suck. Any chance you can stick it out and save up for a bigger upgrade?
if you live nearby a Fry's electronics store, try for an e4300+motherboard combo for like 150 then add in 2GB RAM for say 130(it will drop and he doesn't need anything insane) and then something like a GeForce 8600 for 150ish. and a new power supply for like 70ish... net result... a machine that eats games for breakfast.
