I have a HP p6813w, and I want to update my video card. Any suggestions?
Will not install the card, because I'm a total computer illiterate. But I need some advice on what card to purchase. I have the HP p6813w and am on a Windows 7 64-bit system. The vehicle currently has an ATI Raedon HD 4200. But I play Sims 3 (yes I know it's a girly game, but I'm a girl) and this card is not supported. The HD 5670, 5700, 5800 are; as are many Nvidia cards - mainly the GTX series.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I looked online and was originally going to just buy one at Best Buy, but others are a lot (as in 1/3 price) cheaper. And I'm not all that impressed with the Geek Squad.
In any case, thank you in advance for your advice.
BTW, in case it is important, I just buy more RAM to my computer - so I currently have 14 GB. In case it makes a difference. Again, thank you.
koffimartine1975,
I got your PM on a new video card. The last time I checked, the ATI Radeon HD 6850 is a great buy at $130 after rebate. The NVIDIA GTX 550 it is also a good buy at $120 after rebate. The Corsair CX500 is a supply of quality at the price of $40 after rebate.
You can review the comparison between the two cards video here. The HD 6850 is faster, costs $ 10 more and supports ATI EyeFinity to multiple monitors.
These "how-to" HP articles should be useful if you decide to install the device yourself. Adjacet slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant. Review of the the motherboard specifications.
One of the issues I see with the SIMS 3 is that it is only a 32-bit program that won't get the best out of all the memory of your PC. Windows 7 64 bit does a very good job in the management of memory for 32-bit programs, but the address space of 4 GB (limitation of 32-bit) for the SIMS 3 can be a limiting factor in performance.

I have a HP p6653w desktop computer. Can I upgrade my video card and what is the best card to get to the games?
mathenson,
You can update the video, install any PCIEx16 card video and the new PSU (power supply).
The general answer is based on the games you play. It is best to search for the site of the game, reading the recommended list 'graphics card '. Then add a little more.
graphics card comparison site. http://www.hwcompare.com/6232/Radeon-HD-5670-vs-Radeon-HD-6950-2GB/
Each graphics card is then looked up, noting the length of the card connectors (power cards) required recommended PSU.
Example: XFX HD6950 2 GB:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150530
(1) two PCIE 6pin power wires
(2) card 10 "
(3) min 500W PSU, if you add up. Your 250W + card + fresh 200W generals = 600W
630W PSU will fix the wiring and size http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200

I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9250t desktop PC and I want to upgrade my video card
I have a PC desktop, HP PAVILION Elite e9250t with the specifications below. What graphics card can I go to? I currently have the Radeon HD 4650 with 1 G memory in the form of video card. I want something more grand, better and faster to run Borderlands 2 on high ground. I'm burning my card at 1920 x 1080. Help, please.
Processor: Intel (r) Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz

The Kinder answer is that you must decide what is important. Go to this site and use the section "I can run." You can put in different maps and display the results. But the game you questions about the needs at least the GTX560.

Can quicken 2007 run on El Capitan (i.e., os 10.11)? I have one currently using Yosemite and you want to update without losing the use of Quicken 2007. I don't like the new version of Quicken.
Join the club of those of us who don't like Quicken 2015 or 2016 Quicken; even if I bought it for a 40% discount offered by Intuit! I was just disappointed by Q2016 compared to Quicken 2007!
If you have upgraded to the 16.2.3, version it will work well in El Capitan!

I have two libraries 'photos' and only want one. How Merge/consolidate their?
I have two libraries 'photos' and only want one. How Merge/consolidate their?
Photos has no tool to merge two libraries by importing each other.
- You can export the photos of the smallest library and import them into the largest library,
- or merge libraries in iCloud, if you sign up for enough storage iCloud accommodate the merged libraries. To merge in iCloud activate one of your photo libraries as the photo library iCloud and wait for the pictures to download on iCloud, then proceed to the second library, enable this as the iCloud photo library, wait for the pictures to download. iCloud will download the pictures of the first library to the second, and you'll have a library merged in the second library.
Or buy PowerPhotos. This tool allows you to move photos between libraries and can help you merge some libraries. You can buy it here:

I have a p7-1234 Pavilion and want to upgrade the video card. I am currently the EVGA GeForce GT 610 2048 MB GDDR3. This card will work with it?
This is a power supply that will work for you:
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139048
It is modular allowing you to use only the necessary cables. This means that there is more room inside the circulation of air. He is also a 600W which will give you extra power for the possible future upgrades. Any block of power SUPPLY Corsair will be good. They are fans of the quality products for a reasonable price.
