Hi, Thanks for your help so far.My PC is an Acer Aspire SA80 MHD 12405, Pent.4 CPU 3.06GHz. If I only have the onboard graphics card, would it be worth me updating? I was given an ATI Radeon Powercolor X1650 512MB GDDR2 and thought I should check before I go changing anything.
Thanks

wow mishcam, what are you waiting for, that card would have been in my PC faster than grease whe...

The only thing you need to check before putting that card in your PC, is that it's PCI-E and not AGP. If you motherboard is what I think it is, then it's a PCI-E board.

Hi MadMonkey can you look at this? I copied it from the specs on the ATI site regarding the X1650 being PCI-E not AGP. It isn't clear to me.
  • Native PCI Express x16 bus interface
  • AGP 8x configurations also supported with AGP-PCI-E external bridge chip
Should this be ok with my PC?

Thanks
Sarah

Sorry to disagree with ya madmonkey but that board takes AGP cards Technical data for Acer Aspire SA80 - PC Desktop at dooyoo.co.uk

Heres a link that compares A PCI card to an AGP one, whichever one the card you have looks like is whatever socket it looks like (if that makes sense??) PCI Express: Information and Much More from Answers.com

Sorry D, I was looking at the technical document from the link you posted earlier, this one shows as PCI-E, so I don't think it's the same mb. I should have double checked.

i looked at that site. Don't understand a word but the pictures are nice! The card I am looking at putting in is definately PCI Express.

So will this be ok in my PC?
