You can install a PCI-X video card, depending on what video card you get you might need to upgrade to a 500-650W power supply.

SOURCE: What's the difference????

The GTX possess faster clock speeds than the GT. GTX is also dual-slot & sucks down 40 watts more power.
So, the GTX is the superior card if you have room for it.

SOURCE: upgrading graphics card

Connect the monitor to the onboard video connector first. then
you need to disable the on-board graphics in the BIOS save the setting and shutdown. Then connect the monitor to the GeForce video connector and boot up then you will get a video signal on the GeForce video card.

SOURCE: Upgrading my Acer Aspire M1641 Desktop graphics card

The motherboard will support any PCI Express x16 or PCI Express 2.0 x16 video cards. Your main concern should be with the power supply since it is either a 300w or 250w.

Here is a pretty good choice for your price range:
http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=8&l3=725&l4=0&model=2328&modelmenu=1

Input your info here to see if you need a power supply upgrade.
http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

A little money for system memory would be good if you have less than 1 Gig.
You can test it here:
http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/index.aspx

If you are saving money by not buying a motherboard and want to spend it (which is what I would do), I would put the money into a the video card and power supply.
Like this:
http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=8&l3=726&l4=0&model=2705&modelmenu=1

And this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netzteil-Corsair-620W-ATX-2-2/dp/B000KJNK8U/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1248740669&sr=1-10

I do not know the dimensions of the Aspire Case, so one thing to keep in mind is the dimensions of the card and the power supply. Make sure they will fit before buying.

If you start replacing motherboards and such, you might as well just go with a whole new system. A new motherboard, new CPU, new memory, new graphics, new power supply, fast hard drives, new case.

New PSU doesn't have four point connection

You can still use this power supply but you will need to purchase a 4 to 8 pin connector . you can find them on ebay etc. You can also use two power supplies, one for gfx card one for PC. I use two. To turn on a PSU without it connected to PC ( just to use it as extra power.) You just have to connect the green wire to any black wire with a wire or paper clip. (At your own risk. Set pins first tape off and turn on by plugging into wall) . Good luck.

I am having compaq presario sr 1931 i want to install 1gb graphic card in it please suggest me card which is compatible to my pc i tried nidia gs 8400 & 210 gs

Its really depends on the power supply. What size power supply do you have? The psu is going to be the deciding factor and weather or not you want to upgrade the psu also.

How to check if my power supply is already not ''at the limit''?

1 or 2 extra hdds and ram does not require much extra power and your coolmaster should do the job. But if you intend to use a newer graphic card you should check the requirenments for wattage at your new card manufacturer product specification webpage. I am pretty sure that almost all newer graphic cards require at least 500 watt to run without problem. My advise is to buy at least a 550 watt psu although i don't know what is your hardware. Try to post your hardware specs and calculate for each component (cpu wattage+graphics wattage +etc) your power supply need to be over 50 wattage. Hope that helped!

New graphic card for Evesham Axis 64 3200

Are you asking about upgrading your graphics card?
Aslong as you get a graphics card that is AGP connection you will be fine.
They dont make AGP graphics cards anymore, but one of the last ones made (and most powerful is the Nvidia 7950 AGP) can be found all over ebay.
Its not a cheap card though, and a later edition nvidia 6 card would be just as good for you, such as an Nvidia 6800 AGP graphics card

Think new graphics card needs me to by new PSU. Need second opinion and suggestions. Think my current PSU is 375. Since i installed this new graphics card the PC has frozen after 30 mins or so of use. ...

Hello and thank you for using Fixya's services.

Absolutely, you need to upgrade the PSU.I would recommend at least a 450W (this would give lead a variety of different brand named VGA cards, since you did not specify).

No newegg.com here! Try eBay and get a reasonable, almost 75% off purchasing a new one. I would pull the one from the computer and research if that would fit perfectly in the case. Usually, a generic ATX fits most cases but make sure it does. Price on eBay @ or around $12.99.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Graphic card compatability

Usually the manufacturer's site will have some sort of list, but really, you can generally figure it out for yourself. First, find out what kind of graphics card slot your motherboard has. If it is relatively new, it will probably have PCIe (other options are AGP or just PCI). Next, find out how much power the card you want will draw, and figure out if your Power Supply Unit (PSU) will have enough juice to run it. If you have a card in mind, just post a link to the card, and one to your system (or if you built it yourself, to the site for your motherboard and PSU), and I'll do the math :)

But honestly, short of slot type and power supply, there isn't a whole lot that will actually prevent you from choosing whichever card you want.

Upgrading motherboard

Dual graphic cards aka SLI require a SLI Power Supply. This is a good option if you want to start building a new system. Another option is just to get the new Nvidia 280 graphic card. Check out Tomshardware.com for a killer article on the latest graphic cards.

Leadtek GeForce 8600 GT Extreme Video Card - 256MB GDDR3, PCI Express, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, Video Card

Usually the power quoted is for the entire system, not for the graphic card. The 8600GT systems (even yours with the overclocked GPU) would run fine with any PSU which comes true 300W (Single Rail PSU).

A key thing it seems in the amperage of your 12V, if its less than 18 or 20 (some say it should be even higher), it might not be enough for your graphic card as it does not come with an extra power socket (only the 8600GTS and above have this).
