fredcorp6 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Hi guys, i'm thinking about buying this graphics card: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200677977205?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1349wt_1108 Before i do though, i just wanted to confirm it will work with my PC. I'm running a Compaq CQ5115UK, quad core Q8200, 4gb RAM, windows vista home premium. Thank you! Quote
KenB Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Hi, The specs for your computer show that you have a 300 watt PSU. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01781316&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&lang=en&product=3986409 If this is the case I think that you will need to upgrade the PSU. Please confirm that this is the case. If it is I will try to determine the specific requirements for the card.

Please confirm that this is the case. If it is I will try to determine the specific requirements for the card. Yes that is correct. All i need a new graphics card for is so i can plug 2 monitors into my PC... could you possibly advise me on what card to get, as i do not really want to spend more money on upgrading the PSU. Thanks a lot. Quote
KenB Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Hi, Take a look here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GV-N84S-512I-GeForce-8400GS-Graphics/dp/B002MB2WV0 This card needs a minimum of 300Watt PSU. It is a bit cheaper and you don't have to pay delivery charges. :) If both monitors are VGA you will need an adapter ( you would with the other card too ) Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
