It it possable to put a better video card in my acer aspire 5735Z?
i dont know if i can because the card is integrated into the mother board so can some one help?|||No, you can't.
This video card good for this desktop?
Hi. This sounds like a really wierd question because I don't know what is up with the terminology. So will this video card http://shop4.frys.com/product/5724602?si… work with this desktop http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/c… ? Does this desktop come with a PCI Express 2.0 slot and if not will that video card work with this PC?|||Yes, this computer comes with 1x PCI-e 2.0 slot so that video card will work.
If you don't own the video card and are planing on buying it however, you can find it cheaper on www.newegg.com. Also I have had nothing but trouble with PNY video cards, I would recommend EVGA(Lifetime warranty if registered in 30 days).

Video card attached to motherboard?
I have a HP Pavillion ZD8000 laptop that I paid $2000 for a few years ago. The video card just went bad on it and I'm being told that since it's fused to the motherboard, I need to purchase a new motherboard.
I don't have alot of money to pour back into this laptop. Where can I find an affordable motherboard for this laptop? Where is the best place to have it installed?
Thanks!|||It isn't fused to the motherboard... it is PART of the motherboard. The components that make up the video card, are right there on the same printed circuit board as everything else.
A new motherboard for a zd7000 series goes for $900+ right now... just had to price one for a customer. Why so much? This is HP's way of inspiring people to upgrade their hardware. You may have paid $2000 for it a few years ago, but it isn't worth nearly that much now. Think of it this way. Take a look at the laptops that HP is offering now, for that same $2000... and compare their specs to yours... You'll see.
There are tested motherboards available now on Ebay, for the zd8000 series, going for $300 (BuyItNow Price). Just do an Ebay search for zd8000 motherboard. As to where you should have it installed... you might do better at a smaller repair shop, as opposed to Best Buy/Geek Squad. The wait time should be shorter, and the labor should be less. You are looking at between 2 and 3 hours labor for the job. I'm not saying that a good tech couldn't install it in under an hour. I'm saying that any shop is going to charge you between 2 and 3 hours of labor.|||it is very complicated to deal with a laptop (opening them causes lots of problems).i would recommend that you first go to a specialist(hardware programer) to see if your upgrade would be compatable with the rest of the hardware---secondly it is best if you fix the computer using your warranty if you have one... modifying the system hardware destroys the warrenty... i hope this information helps
___thank you|||for what it will cost you to find and have the board replaced ... you could go buy a new laptop with similar specs ... Laptop prices have tumbled over the past 2 yrs and your $2000 lappy (with the same specs) brand new today is worth about $700|||Replacing the motherboard in your Laptop will cost your just as much as if you would purchase a new laptop. It is sometimes cheaper to buy a new laptop than to replace the motherboard. |||well, the only place to save a littlebit of money is go to the computer repairshop let them repair it or buy a refurbish mother board.

Wondering if video card (Radeon 5670) will work on my PC, to play Lego Star Wars 3?
So I'm looking for a video card that would work on a system I'm fixing, I found a card and here's the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161365&cm_re=radeon_hd_5670-_-14-161-365-_-Product and I'm wondering if it will work on the pc. My pc is a Dell Dimension 4700. Thank You.|||Hi,
Unlike one answerer said the graphics card will fit physically into the PC. Your pc has PCI Express 1.0 x16 and the graphics card is PCI Express 2.1 x16 but this is backwards compatible.
As for the power supply, its 305w which will just about run the graphics card (the system requirements say the pc will need at least a 300w power supply), and unlike any other current graphics cards, it only requires the power from the motherboard as opposed to power direct from your computers power supply.
It should run fine, but if you do get crashing on games Blue screens etc, it WILL be down to your power supply and you'll need a more powerful one in this instance.
Hope i've helped :)|||No, as near as I can tell with just a quick browse of the first motherboard shematic that came up for your computer, you do not have the proper slot ( PCI Express 2.1 x16) and I would guess you don't have a strong enough power supply, either.|||Yes. Here are system requirements:
Intel Processor - Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4GHz
AMD Processor - Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+
Nvidia Graphics Card - GeForce GT 240
ATI Graphics Card - Radeon HD 4670 512MB
RAM (Memory) - 2 GB
Hard Disk Space - 6 GB
Direct X - 9
The rest of your computer might not work though. It looks like you may only have a Pentuim 4 and I don't know how much RAM you have

How to upgrade video card 32MB ram to a 64 or more MB ram?
i have a 32 Mb ram video card thing called intel (r) 82815|||Buy a new video card. If you dont know how than take you whole computer into a store and they will probably do it for you. If you computer is old than you may need to buy a new motherboard to support a graphics card.
Question about video card. I have onbroad graphic but I brought a avideo card that I plan to install now.?
I heard in the past that I have to disable old video driver or something like that.
My question is do I have to? and if yes how to go about do it? I am a newbie working with computer.
Thanks for any answer.|||sometimes the video card will turn it off in your bios when you install it...but watch your screen when it first boots up..usually F2 or F10 to enter the set up....then check onboard video or graphics and change it if it hasn't already...cheers
