SOURCE: i cant instal new external graphics card bcause i

If it is a Lenova 3000 J200, it has a PCI Express x16 slot used for a graphics card.

Be Aware of this.

ONE, it looks like it was made around October of 2007.

PCI Express has gone through several versions.

1.PCI-E 1.0 version,
2.PCI-E 1.1 version,
3.and PCI-E 2.0, so far.

PCI-E 1.0 came in 2004. PCI-E 1.1 came out a little later.

PCI-E 2.0 came out in January of 2007. You may, or may not have the PCI Express 2.0 technology used in your computer.

DOESN'T MATTER! A graphics card designed for PCI Express 2.0, will work on a computer that has PCI Express 1.1 You won't get the full capability of the graphics card.

You WON'T notice either!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express

Computer games and 3D programs, can't use the full bandwidth of PCI Express 1.1, yet alone trying to use all of the PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth.

Your concern is your Power Supply.
According to the Specifications your computer either has a 220 WATT power supply, or a 280 WATT power supply.

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68084

This isn't enough power to keep a bird flying on a string, much less power a decent graphics card.
Suggestion?
Upgrade your power supply.

What Processor does your computer have, and how much Ram Memory?

Will a DDR3 graphic card work as it should work on a DDR2 motherboard or ram

Add more RAM
If you're not sure if a module is right for your system, use the
Crucial Memory Advisor tool for a list of guaranteed compatible modules.

First you will need to select the manufacturer from a drop down list then select your product line from a drop down list then select the model then click find it will take you directly to compatible ram also you will have an option to scan your system.

You should always ask for a guarantee on the compatibilitybefore making any purchase and try to buy for working pairs if possible.
computer users often get confused when assembling or upgrading their first computer. While the most common error is made when distinguishing system memory, RAM, from hard drive space, gaming computers have an extra wrinkle to worry about.

Graphics cards use memory separately from the system memory mounted on the motherboard. Some graphics cards use the more typical DDR standard, though it's permanently attached to the graphics card circuitboard, while others use the new GDDR standard.

For the most part, the internals of the graphics card aren't relevant to the rest of the computer it's all about the connection slot.What Is DDR Memory?


DDR, or "Double Data Rate," is the standardized random access memory format for most desktop and laptop computers.
DDR RAM comes in different generational standards: DDR, DDR2, DDR3 and the newer DDR4.

RAM chips, known as DIMMs, come in only one format, as do the DIMM slots on motherboards, so a DDR3-compatible motherboard memory slot can accept only DDR3 RAM DIMMs RAM that uses an earlier or later standard is incompatible.
GDDR Memory and Graphics Cards


Modern graphics cards use a modified memory standard called GDDR, short for Graphics Double Data Rate. While similar, GDDR and DDR memory is not the same:

Most importantly, GDDR memory is integrated into the graphics card and cannot be removed. Some older graphics cards use DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 memory, but this is also integrated into the card.

Graphics cards of varying power come with different kinds of RAM as of the date of publication, most cards feature GDDR4 or GDDR5 memory

Graphics Card Motherboard Connections
Discrete desktop graphics cards are mounted inside a computer case and plugged directly into the motherboard.

Three standard connections are used for graphics cards: PCI-Express (the most common and powerful), PCI and AGP.

It is this connection that determines how much data can be shared between the graphics card and the other system components, such as the CPU, the system RAM and the hard drive.

The expansion slot standard is the primary function for determining whether or not a graphics card is compatible with any given computer:

If your motherboard has a PCI-E slot, it's compatible, if not ideally so, with all PCI-E graphics cards.
Graphics Card Memory and System Memory Compatability

Memory is an important part of game performance, but graphics memory and system memory are two different things.

For better performance, it's best to have as much graphics memory AND system memory as possible, but the different standards used by the graphics card and the motherboard are largely irrelevant.

As long as the graphics card uses the correct expansion slot standard, it will work with the corresponding motherboard, regardless of its DDR version.

Need new graphic card but cant find one compatable

Hello. The best solution for your graphic card replacement is, in my oppinion, ASUS ATI RADEON 9550 GE. It is 128-bit series model, and it is better with 128MB of memory, because with 256MB is much more expensive, but almost no difference.
Best wishes, SteveTM

The fan on the ati radeon hd 2400xt video card runs constantly, any ideas of how I can get it to stop

you don't wanna stop that fan. the chip in your video and is very similar to your processor on your motherboard. it runs very hot, hot enough to even melt your card. if it's running constantly maybe your computer is in a very warm spot or your working the video card too hard. either way let the fan run or you'll severely damage your ard.

Lenovo IdeaCentre k210 57088756 motherboard burnt. Processor is Intel Pentium Dual Core processor E5200. MTM is 53135CU. Any suggestion for a compatible replacement?

There are a huge range of motherboards to choose from. Stick with the well known brands and with the functions that suit your requirements.
My choice of brands are Gigabyte, Intel, MSI.
If you are into gaming and video editing etc. go for a motherboard without a built-in graphics card and purchase a separate high end graphics card.
