How can I tell what video card will be compatible?

Hi, I think I need a new video card, but I don't really know what the new card will be compatible with my computer, a m9077c of HP that works with Vista.I see there a Nvidia Geforce 8500 gt in there now, but looking for new to buy, I see things like (86JYAHG PVT XFX GEforce 8500 GT 450 mhz 512mbgddr2svideo/dvi/vga/pci-express16) for $35 , but then I just see alongside plain old GEforce 8500 gt for $111. What is the difference? I want just a replacement, it doesn't even have to be of the same brand, as long as this will work as well or better. How can I say that it will be compatible?

You are the very welcome.

Make sure you first uninstall the drivers for your card current video and then instead of restarting the PC, stop it and install your new card.

Please post back and let us know how you like your new video card.

  • ESX 4.0 - how can you tell what physical NIC vswif is linked to?

    Hi all

    Noobie question here, but how can you tell what NIC card connected to the service console? We have ESX server with 6 NIC cards on all of them and I need to be able to say what NIC is the service console. I googled my brains but no luck. esxcfg-vswitch - l does not show what NIC is on, because, I guess, we lack vCenter.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?

    A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7.  I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version.  From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7.  I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade.  I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing.  How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

    Thank you!

    Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.

    You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    How can I tell what version number of Medica Player I have in my PC.  My PC is configured to update automatically.  When I clicked on the 'ownership' of my Windows Media Player ted, it was created on 11 August 2011.  This means that I have the latest version (#12?) in my PC?

    Launch windows media player, right-click on an empty space in the lower right of the media player, hover over or select help and 'media player' and that should bring up a page on the drive media of which version you are running. If you OS is xp sp3, you probably #11 is installed, and it is the most updated for XP version.

  • How can I tell what drive installed on firefox?

    I use a fairly small SSD as my drive "C:". It contains the Windows files and it is, but I don't want to install all my programs on this drive. That's what concerns the second disc of 1Terabyte.

    During the installation, how can I tell Firefox to install on the second hard drive?

    Yes, you can select custom during installation Setup. But the vast majority of Firefox (wise disk space) will be the user / "roaming" area folderset on the same drive that the operating system is installed on – C: / drive. This is the default zone for the Firefox profile.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/profiles-where-Firefox-stores-user-data

    After installation, you can create a new profile on a different drive for your data Firefox and customizations.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles

    Before using chose the file to a custom location, you must create the folder and select this specific folder when you create the new profile. If you don't accidentally use the root folder, you risk losing everything on this disc, you will need to use an empty folder when you specify where you want the new profile.

    And once you create the profile, in the custom location, do not "clean" what remains on the c: / drive from the original installation. You will need the file profiles.ini so that Firefox knows where your profile 'in service' folder

  • How can you tell what your vSwitch NETWORK card uses?

    We are still at the experimental stage with our ESXi 4.1 installation and have 4 cards assigned to a vSwitch network. 3 are active and it is defined as the day before. Is there a way to tell which network cards are actually get used or are all 3 active cards get used both for the collection of NETWORK adapters? I have attached a few screenshots to view our installation.

    Another thing is that the day before, we noticed NIC for network management and VMnetwork are different and which seemed to have been changed on their own. Is this normal? For example the day before NIC for network management is set to vmnic3 and the NIC for the VMnetwork has the value vmnic2

    Well they are all 'used' to my knowledge.  The only way I've really seen to see one that is circulating is to make a display of advanced host performance and look at networking. From there on, it lists each nic and the amount of data it is to push through. I know that we have 4 s NIC team (similar to your Setup less standby configuration) and usually only a NETWORK card pushes the data at once.

  • How can I replace the video card in my Pavilion a6357c desktop PC

    My monitor is completely empty - and on the health check - free service at Office Depot - looks like my video card is nonfunctional - how can I buy the part and change the video or equivalent card?

    cschan wrote... "I tried to look it up to accesorries in HP Web site or on the internet / amazon etc to find a similar card, but to no avail as the map is not clearly specified on the specs of the computer, nor on the removed card from the computer.

    @cschan... As I mentioned previously, your system is not a graphics card... the graphical subsystem is part of what is called the chipset. Your computer will accept almost any card PCIe x 16 market chart, however the 250 watt power supply will limit your choices. Buying a new power supply will give you more chioces, but it's an additional expense. The two components will run around $100 - $150.

    I would say a little more troubleshooting before investing in some new parts. Borrow a well-known work PCIe x 16 graphics card and install it in your computer to see if your problem persists.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/burn-a-CD-or-DVD

    Burn a disc using the ISO image format

    Choose the size of the ISO image when you need a highly compatible disc that will play in computers with an older version of Windows or in devices such as CD and DVD players that can play video files and music digital. For more information about choosing a disc format, see which CD or DVD format should I use?

    1. Insert a writable CD or DVD CD writer or DVD in your computer.

    2. In the dialog box that appears, click on burn the files to a data disc.

    3. In the engraving, a disc dialog box, type a name for this disc, and then click Show formatting options.

    4. Click on ISO image, and then click Next.

      An empty disc folder opens.

    5. Open the folder that contains the files to burn and then drag the files into the empty disc folder.

    6. In the toolbar, click on burn to disc.

      The selected files are copied to the disk. When burning is complete, the drive tray opens and you can remove the drive. You can now use the disc in another computer or media. This type of disc has no need to be closed.
