Hey guys, just asking some questions about my graphics card. My drivers for it are the latest (I think); 6.14.10.4543 - just wondering, it says the drivers arent digitally signed, does that matter?

Anyway, the graphics card seems to be upto date, but when I go into CPU-Z and click 'Graphics' it says

Name: Intel (R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family

Revision: 4

and then everything else is grayed out, why?

Also I don't think I have the 3d accelerator driver for this card
(if there is one)!.

Thanks.

P.S My computer is a dell E310.
 
My audio drivers don't work. I have the wrong Intel Audio Studio, and it prevents my audio codecs from working (I think).

Won't let me get rid of it either :(

Also, am I able to upgrade my graphics card?? I have a Dell E310.
 
Yes you can upgrade your graphics as it has PCI-E slot; but honestly with such an old right you won't be getting much out of it.

If you can hold on, save money, and get a new rig altogether and you'll be much happier.

Check here for your audio drivers.
 
Thanks for the reply and audio drivers.

I read on a forum that my computer has 2 PCI slots, and that I can get one of these:

newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143058

Am I actually able to? Saving for a new rig will take a while, and in the meantime I could do with a new graphics card.



Many thanks! My audio drivers now work.
 
This is your system specs right?

On this page at the right side panel; where they have listed the specs; it says 1.0 ( 1.0 ) x PCI Express x1 - LGA775 Socket

Now i am believe that mean your system can accommodate PCI-E graphics card.... but you can consult the product manual to confirm it; if that is the case let me know and we can find you a PCI-E graphic card which will be better than an PCI slot one.
 
I don't think so, considering my hard-drive is a 127gb one, my processor is a

Intel Pentium 4 630 Socket 755 LGA - Intel Pentium R 4 CPU 3.00GHZ
Also it says on the side 'Intel Pentium 4 HT Inside'

I dont know what hyperthreading is too.

and where it says

# Cache Memory
# Type L2 cache
# Installed Size 1.0 MB
# Cache Per Processor 1 MB

On CPU-Z it says:

L1-D Cache

Size: 16kbs
Descriptor: 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size

Trace Cache

Size: 12Kuops
Descriptor: 8-way-set associative

L2 Cache

Size: 2048Kbytes
Descriptor: 8-way set associative


And if it helps, my botherboard in CPU-Z is

Motherboard-------------------------

Model: 0JC474
Chipset: Intel | i915P/i915G | Rev. B1

Maybe my computer is a different version of the E310...

.0 ( 1.0 ) x PCI Express
x1 - LGA775 Socket


I do believe I have this.
 
Alright PCI-E is no more an option, there is an x1 PCI-E slot but it is of not much use.

Now if you want to buy that PCI graphic card; you will need to take one of those two cards which are currently occupying the slots.

There is a WinTV or something, I think made by Hauppage which I don't need. I don't need the other one either, as it has DSL slots on for old ethernet.

As I would have two slots free, could I get two cards to increase performance?

I heard people do that.
 
I'm sorry not on your computer though; you need two PCI-E slots to have Crossfire/SLI configuration.

So for you only option is single PCI card. Also the link you gave me (the newegg one above), that card is not available according to the same page.

I'll suggest you have a look at these:

1. Found similar to yours here.
2. Geforce 8400GS PCI. <====My Recommendation

Will the 8400GS run teamfortress 2?

I've seen the JATON one too, but which one will run games at better quality?
 
Here is the requirements for Team Fortress:

Team Fortress 2 Minimum System Requirements
CPU: 1.2 GHz Processor
RAM: 256 MB
Graphics Card: DirectX 7 capable graphics card
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection
CD or DVD rom drive

Team Fortress 2 Recommended System Requirements
CPU: 2.4 GHz Processor
RAM: 512 MB
Graphics Card: DirectX 9 capable graphics card 256 MB
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection
CD or DVD rom drive

Team Fortress 2 Ideal System Requirements
For running the game smooth in 1280x1024 with High Quality graphics.

CPU: 3.4 GHz Processor
RAM: 1024 MB
Graphics Card: Radeon X800 or Geforce 6800
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection
CD or DVD rom drive

-------------

And don't bother about Jaton one, they are both same GPU based cards. Now you may be able to play your game with low or medium settings; you will have to fiddle around a bit to find the best possible trade off between performance and quality.

Goodluck

I'm assuming its a used one?

Well in US$ its what 3$ i think? right

At that price it probably is worth having a look at lol

Go for it as long as there is some sort of assurance that it will be in satisfactory working condition; will save you money as well;
