Graphic card Help

I just got the 3dfuzion 7300gs 256 pci-e for my bday. could any one help me see if itll run on my comp. i have the hp a705w.

 

sorry to say, but no it won't, the motherboard in your computer only has 3 PCI slots, and no PCI-E (PCI Express) slots.

 

are there any other cards you would recommend. or mayb a new motherboard price range $150 or so.

 

Yeah this is a good one:
ASROCK K8SLI-ESATA2 ULI SKT754 AMD64 BOARD
Relatively cheap 120$

ULi M1697 board supports AMD Athlon64 Skt754 CPUs and DDR RAM
Takes standard DDR RAM up to DDR400, 2 slots provided
3 x PCI slots, 1 x PCI-E x16, 1 x PCI-E x8, 1x PCI-E x1
10/100 LAN, 2x ATA100/133, 4 x SATAII 300 RAID 0/1/0+1/JBOD
Realtek ALC 660 5.1 channel CODEC with High Definition Audio

 

i see they both say AMD. will it work with my intel?

 

No they won't, and if you get a motherbard with a PCI-E slot, you'll have to upgrade your CPU aswell, because no motherboard with a PCI-E slot will have the required socket for your current CPU.

 

ok thx, so im better off just buying a new system right?

 

Not realy, I had that same problem with my HP a306x. All you need is a motherboard(that can work with you graphics card and a processor), processor and maybe a PS. And you can get the processor off ebay and the others if you want. Just make sure you no what you doing. If you dontknow nothing about computers, you can just buy a new system or I or someone else can help you build one.

 

I think you should buy a next system or take the chance in building on. I just looked at the specs of you comp and it suck realy bad. For you to get a faster comp to put you graphics card in you will need this: 1 ATX case, 1 motherboard, 1 processor that will fit in that motherboard, 400W PS, Windows XP Home or pro(pro recommended), 512MB or 1GB RAM that can fit in the motherboard, 80GB or more hard drive and you can use your other stuff like the CD drive etc. I think its best you buy a NEW system and sell the one you have for parts, because you dont look like you want to go frue with all that problem.

 

i really dont know what kinda of motherboard would fit in my tower. could any one recommend one. as for buying a new comp or buildin one. i really cant afford one, unless someone knows of something for about $450

I will look for a mobo for you.

 

I see you got soma already ddp, but I have a ?, does he want a next processor?

 

yes plz that would help mayb a duo core

 

OK so you going to buy on of the motherboards ddp show you and someone will help you with the processor, I dont deal with AMD, only Intel. Good luck.

 

well i dont really know yet, im just looking for a good deal. dont have much to spend. would like to see some intel motherboards to overclock

 

OK now you want a core duo, so that means you will need a next mobo. Beacause you cant put that type of processor in a AMD socket.
