i need a sli ready video card any help would be nice|||The best video card out there is the PNY XLR8 GeForce 8800GT for $250 on AMAZON. It is faster than the 8800GTS and almost as fast as a GTX (will be way faster when in SLI). Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/PNY-XLR8-8800GT-51…
By the way, ATI is falling really behind in the battle, so don't get them for a while, until they can beat the 8800s. Hope this helps!|||i believe you can run crossfire on that board maxium pc magazine showed the new hp running crossfire on a sli nvidia motherboard

XFX 512MB Radeon HD4350 PCI-Express Card?
I have a Dell Dimension 5000. I am working on
upgrading the entire system and feel the
graphics/video card needs an upgrade too. I've
heard good things about this card, but what
exactly will this card improve for me, I use the
computer for pretty much everything except I dont
play games.
Also, what does the HDMI output allow me to do?|||That's a pretty old card, but I need your old graphics card to see what it will improve. If you don't play games it should be fine.
HDMI helps in the following ways
Smaller Standardized Connectors
Audio and Video on a Single Cable
Increased Color Depth
Backwards Compatible

AGP \ PCI-E? Help with Video Card...?
I am having some trouble installing my gigabyte radeon 4670. It is a PCI-E card but it seems as though if I were to install the card as it would correspond to the slot on the board the videocard would be facing inward (i.e.) the hdmi ports etc. would be in the computer instead of being exposed by the slot on the back of the computer case. It seems like it would be a perfect fit for the black AGP slot but again I believe the gigabyte radeon 4670 is a pci-e 16x card. I really am stumped. I hope someone can help. * will best answer*|||You need to be sure which you have; AGP or PCI-E
And you need to know which card you have. Look at the box, it should tell you.
To see an AGP Slot: http://www.hardwarezone.com.au/img/data/…
To see a PCI-E x16 Slot: http://www.diaginc.com/knowledgebase/pci…
You can use diagnostic software to tell you also:
I use PC Wizard from http://www.cpuid.com/download/pcwizard/p…
God bless.|||- Like several have said before, you may have a AGP slot instead of a PCI-E.
OR
- You actually have a PCI-E slot, but you have it upside-down. The fan and heat-sink is suppose to face downward.
As can be seen in these photos:

If you have AGP, you do not have PCI-E. It is a newer technology that overtook AGP as the standard for video cards.
There is no way to fit that video card to the motherboard that you have.
You would have to either buy a motherboard that supports your CPU and has PCI-E, or buy an AGP video card.

Can you tell me what video card to purchase?
I know nothing about video cards and such, so help me out... Right now I know that I have a RADEON X300 SE video card, it has 128mb memory and it really sucks for gaming.
I have a PCI (spelling?) slot I guess (dunno what that means), and I need a really nice card for gaming (not hardcore, just like Age of empires, The Sims 3), and something fairly inexpensive but I want to see my options. Thanks!|||I think Nvidia makes the best cards. for you i would say maybe a 9500, 9600 or so. the 8 series is slightly less efficient and less productive but will be cheaper. maybe an 8600. check out the nvidia website
ATI isnt bad, but not as good as nvidia. for them i would say something around the 4650 series.
these might be cheaper, but nvidia is kinda the standard for graphics cards so I would recommend them. nvidia all the way :P

How is the XFX - ATI RADEON HD 4650 1GB DDR2 PCI Express Graphics Card?
My current video card is pretty terrible. I'm looking to play stuff like Mafia 2 and BBC2. The card sounds great, but I just want to know how other people like it.|||The DDR2 graphic engine is very bad for todays gaming although it has 1GB VRAM, I would recommend it to go with DDR3 Or DDR5 or visit the following website to see how people thinks about the graphic card:

Can't install video card drivers for Radeon 6870?
I used to have a GeForce 9800 GT and then I thought it broke. I decided to get a new one so I shopped around and bought a XFX Radeon HD 6870. I plugged it in and such but and tried to install ATI catalyst but it is not working so I cannot get any drivers for my card. I can get as far as to the screen where it gives you the option to install or uninstall but when I click install I get an error message from windows like the one below.
"Windows detected that this program did not run correctly
To try and fix the problem, Windows has applied compatibility settings to this program. Windows will use these settings the next time you run the program.

I am stuck in the windows basic theme and can't change the resolution above 1280 by 1024. This is the same thing that was happening with my old card. The only thing that might be messing it up could be that I have the 4 pin molex to 6 pin pci express adapter for my video card cause my power supply (Sunbeam Hush Ultra 680W PSU) only came with one 6 pin connecter but I don't think that is the problem. In the device manager the only thing under the Display adapter section is Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.

Leftover drivers from a previous video card, even from the same manufacturer, can do strange things when you intall a new graphics card.
EDIT: I am most unimpressed by the Sunbeam line of power supplies. They're cheap, but their listed wattage is a peak number under ideal conditions, not real life. However, that shouldn't have caused your software installation problem.
