    The 7600GS would be the best fit in this case. Try to find the Inno 3DNVIDIA 7600G version with DDR3 if you can becuase the memory is faster than DDR2. You will need to uninstall your old video software driver, then disable your onboard video chip in your motherboard's BIOS and then install the new video card and its driver.

    Yes, you should do it at the BIOS.

    I doubt that. The X1650PRO would need at least 20A to run properly, so I wouldn't risk it. The 7600GS performs about the same though, so don't worry about it.

    if i disable de onboard chips but i still do not have a new graphic card..how do i enable back my onboard chips?
  9. Cinders TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 1,312   +12

    You go back into the BIOS and enable it.

    but i can't go back to my BIOS anymore..now when i switch on the comp..my monitor show nothing and my CPU produce a beeping sound..so wat do i do?
  11. Cinders TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 1,312   +12

    Your motherboard is telling you that there is an error somewhere on the board. What you need to do now is find or download your motherboard manual and find out what the beeps mean.

    Did you attach the 4-pin Molex to the card?

    OK I reread your post where you say

    "if i disable de onboard chips but i still do not have a new graphic card..how do i enable back my onboard chips?"

    And the answer is;

    You need to clear the CMOS to reset the BIOS back to its default settings. Normally your motherboard operates with the clear CMOS jumper on pins zero and one. You can clear the BIOS by removing the battery and moving the clear CMOS jumper from pins zero and one to pins one and two. Wait five to ten seconds and move the jumper back to pins zero and one and reinstall the battery. If you don't have a clear CMOS jumper then don't worry about it. Taking out the battery for five or ten minutes usually clears the BIOS.

    Sorry about the late post; I should have answered your question the first time.
