setting a video card up
Reply #17 –
Yeah, I bought it from wal mart, lol.
Well, thought I'd post back as to my experiences...
1st: The video card I had in was actually smaller than my onboard, and my 2 biggest games wouldn't even play, they froze up once they loaded. Games were Morrowind and Oblivion.
(They played before I put the card in...)
So then I removed the card, and finally got my onboard to show up again thru the device manager, and am playing my games again (albeit slow and choppy as before.)
I have a PCI-e X16, and a X1 slot in my machine...guess I'll look online for a well rounded card to fit the X-16 slot...I know I'll probably have to upgrade my power supply as well, the one I have in there now is a 300 watt...so I'll most likely need a bigger one.
Sound like a good start, or should I save up for a tower with a dual-core and a big card already loaded in it?
