well, i got these problem. my brother gave me his old desktop PC and i want to upgrade it's video card, but when i was asking him what his motherboard is he doesn't seem to know (i need to know what motherboard is installed to know what video cards are compatible with it). Is there a way on how i would know what video card is installed? please someone help..|||Just open the case and look to see if it has a PCI Express slot or AGP. If it only has plain PCI slots it most likely does not deserve a new video card.
P.S. PCI Express are normally black , AGP brown and PCI white|||That's not the main thing you should focus on, actually.
First thing is see what type of chipset your motherboard
supports for the graphics card. 16 etc.
Second, is power supply. You can't run a graphics card
on anything short of 300watts. So focus on that, or it won't
even run, and you could fry your computer. :D
Etc etc. Just look at the motherboard at the back of the
computer and see what's compatible, type in the model
number of your computer, find some reviews, and specs.
You'll soon know what type.
