Can i run windows 7 aero with the NVIDIA GEFORCE 4 MX4000 128MB AGP VIDEO CARD?

i might want to buy this card but not sure if it will run aero which is what i want?|||No, that video card is not built to run Aero. It's a video card from around 2002 that was built using hardware designed around 1999 and introduced in 2000.



You will need something a bit more modern, even if all you're trying to do is run Aero on an old computer. I would recommend the card below. Alternatively, any cheap nVidia 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, GT2, GT4 or ATI 9, X, X1, HD2, HD3, HD4, or HD5 series card you can find should do just fine.



I'm assuming by the fact that you posted the 4 MX card with the most RAM available at the time that you're not quite sure of what to look for in graphics cards. First, RAM doesn't matter nearly that much. A low-end graphics card (nVidia 6200, 7300, 8400, etc.) gains almost nothing when you pile on RAM. There was, for a time, a 512MB GeForce 6200 on sale, and people purchased it over much better and more expensive graphics cards because they figured the RAM was all that mattered - they basically got suckered into spending $80 for a graphics card that was no faster than the $25 version.



Also, since your computer is unable to run Aero as-is, you might want to consider getting a new one altogether. Spending even $50 to upgrade a computer to display the Aero Glass effects isn't a great value compared to spending the $200-400 getting a new one.|||That is a pretty old graphic card. I'm not 100% sure but I am leaning more along the lines of no for that card supporting aero fully. You might be able to get a preview of the applications running when you mouse over but the live preview and aero peek functions probably won't work.

But don't quote me on that.|||, the better the card the better the aero effect, i would recommend a 512mb video card or higher

for example a geforce 7300 gt 512mb agp video card , tigerdirect.com|||this card will not do a thing for your computer

u need fx cards if you support agp graphics slot - i suggest the 7600GT

Which AGP video card should I buy? ATI X850 Pro or nVidia Geforce 6800GS?

I have around $150 to spend online and I am really torn between these two cards. I currently have a Geforce 6200 which is crap and I want to play Oblivion. Please help! Only responses from people who have these cards need respond. Also, if you have either of these cards, please tell me if I am going to need anything like after market cooling. Please help, I am so torn. Thanks!|||Compare all recent VGA's here:

Price/performance index is what I usually go by.|||x850r u kidding me 6800 is so old and outdated





just get x850|||Throw out the 7600, the RAM is way too slow. The 6800 and the X850 have about equal RAM speed, but the X850 has a higher clock speed. I would say go with the X850 Pro.

Can install an Nvidia GeForce FX5500 FX 5500 AGP 256MB Video Card to my Compaq Presario?

Well i want to start playing World of Warcraft, and my computer is from 2004.I only have 448mb of ram and i think i need a better graphics card,my graphics card has 64mb's.My processor is AMD Athlon Xp 3100+ 2.20 GHz. Any tips on helping my computer run smoother overall would also be much appreciated.|||more memory is always good..good to atleast have a gig but for gaming and nowadays since memory is cheap get 2 gb..that is a ok card but make sure that ur motherboard is for agp cards|||the speed is ok but upgrade ur memory at least for 1gb or more than that and make sure ur compaq supports attaching new graphic cards cuz most of the older laptops and notebooks dont have a slot for a graphic card the only way to go is ur onboard graphic card .

How good is the AGP video card Nvidia geForce 5500 fx?

i found an nvidia geforce 5500 fx and i was wondering what kind of games can u play with that. Im using windows seven and have an intel pentium 4 2.66 with 1.25 gb ram in a 32 bit operating system.|||The card is a bit dated. Most new games will have trouble running efficiently with that card. Also, seeing as you are running Win 7, I can make an educated guess that your motherboard doesn't even support AGP. It is more than likely has a PCI-E slot for graphics card expansion.|||i have one exactly like that and those are the things i tested: GTA-SA runs good, Half Life 2 runs great too, older DX based 3d games like Quake 3, Unreal tournament 2003 and 2006 also performed reasonably well. Then again, i have less RAM, but a better processor so i guess it's about the same. If you can, you should go with a Radeon instead.|||I'm sorry to say that geforce 5500 is already obsolete. Games that you can play are games that are made up to 2002. I know I have that exact graphic card.

Does this graphics card (eVGA GeForce 6200LE 128MB AGP 8X Video Card) support "horizontal span"?

I found this cheap graphics card from circuit city and I'm just wondering if it supports "horizontal span," or has anyone know a cheap graphics card that support "horizontal span"



here's the card:

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/eVGA-GeFo…|||not by itself. because it only has 1 video port. it can work in horizontal span in conjunction with second graphics card (in a PCI slot).



a cheap graphics card that can would be something like this

Does the Dell Optiplex Gx270 Supports 8x agp video cards?

I would like to know if this computer supports 2x 4x or 8x agp video cards?

I want to buy the nVidia GeForce FX5500 256MB DDR 8X AGP but in the requirements it says it will only work in 8x AGP Slots.



Please i need somebody with experience. Thanks|||Yes it does support 8X AGP.

I had two GeForce FX 5500 / 256MB DDR / Video Cards on my PC. A PCI and an AGP. The AGP died. What happened?

I wasn't overclocked, fans were clean. Using Win Xp, P4@1.8g on socket 478 ECS MB, a generic soundblaster from Walmart as were the 2 vid cards. Linksys wireless nic. I just get vertcal lines from the AGP at boot. I cannot get into Windows with the AGP onboard using PCI as default display. a hot spot developes on the AGP card when I try this. I don't have another machine to test the card on in case it is the MB causing the problem. I did have a different monitor on the AGP as I have no web access at home and go to a friends house every month or so to update. When I got home 6/8/2006 the AGP would not work. No extreme vibration during trip, no moisture, inspection revealed no loose cards or cables. I never updated bios or drivers. Forceware 7700 I think. I swapped cards in and out between just the 2 listed, changed bios settings for the cards, nothing worked. It would be nice to get the card working but am more concerned with what happened as I plan to use dual monitors again.|||It sounds like your video card must have died. It's most likely time to get a better video card, so check newegg.com for a newer agp video card, as they have a great selection of cards with lots of different price ranges.|||you could read your mother boards help book at first|||The only thing coming to mind on this one, is that the OS picked one of the two as a primary, and kicked out all the drivers for the other one. Try it in a different machine, if you have another one to use, this will save on tech time, and fees at a shop.|||Get a new motherboard, they are under $50 for that socket.
