PCI Express

PCI Express

Where is a utility to DL that will check the PC hardware similar to Belarc?
I need to buy a new Video Card but HP does not list if this PC has plain PCI
or PCI express. Also it requires a 350w Power Supply.

Which Video card is best? I have never bought a Video Card. Both are $35.
The Chipsets are: GeForce 7300 LE. The LE is a PCI card

Or Chipset GeForce MX. The MX is a AGP card.. GeForce 7300 LE Video Card,
PCI Express, 128MB

Or AGP. GF MX4000 Video Card, 8x AGP 128MB DDR

I did not know if there was a difference in the LE or MX technology on the 2
different cards. I have both open slots. I am wondering about the Chipset

Are these movies about Katrina too sad? Should I delete them?

I need a new Video Card to use Pinnacle 10.6 to create new movies.

Why did you start a new post on this, did you not read the replies to your
post yesterday? If you have an additional question to ask, do it in your
original thread.

Which Post stated I was asking for a software utlity to DL that reads the
PIC express hardware? Go back and read it slowly.

The 1st post was about the VIdeo Card. This post is about a "Software
Utility" similar to Belarc.

Open the case and look.

The responses to yesterdays post stated the type of slot on your sys.
Perhaps you should read these more slowly

You'll get a lot of help here with that attitude.

I have no need to open the case with a software utility

 

[New Orleans Novice]

But the response did not state if it was just plain PCI or PCI express. Nor
did the response list a software utility. You should read very slowly.

Thanks for your intelligent input

Well, you're going to need to open the case anyway if you want to
replace the video card. However, you seem to be determined to ignore
all the good advice you've already gotten so - good luck in your
endeavors.

I'm out of this thread. *plonk*

Just wondering. What took you so long?

Some motherboards have the circuitry for PCI-E or whatever installed but for
cost reasons the manufacturer neglected to actually install the appropriate
sockets. A software utility will only tell you if the possibilty of a PCI-E
slot exists. Your eyes will tell you if it actually exists.

Thanks for that tip.

It looks like I need the AGP and also a new PC with the PCI e

I don't take it personally but if some asks about software - answer with
software.

If someone asks about hardward - answer with hardware.

If someone asks for directions - give them a map - don't tell them they need
to take a train or a plane - just give them a map.

Then you will relax better with your Cajun Gumbo

You're welcome.

In the future if you ask a question and several people give you the same
answer then instead of insisting they are wrong consider that they may be
right and give their suggestion a try. Most people seeing a rude, sarcastic
comment to an answer they know is correct won't take the time to tell you
why the answer is correct. If you think the answer is incorrect then
politely ask for further clarification.
