I have a Emachine T2042. I am limited to only pci slots. I have added a 256mb ati video card. That's good for some games, but not for the best. I was thinking about putting, at least, another 128mb. Is this possible. I have a Imperial 1.04 board. Thanks for the patients. Andy|||you can install more than one card but not for the reason you want the only benifit you can get from installing two cards is connecting mutiple monitors. unless you get a newer board that has 2 pci E and supports sli you can get two of the exact same cards capible of sli and that will increase your preformance|||Nope.
New and expensive motherboards let you run dual cards, but they are PCI-E. The cards have to be the same, and compatible to do this.
On your computer, no.|||You can't combine two graphic cards together. You would only see benefit from the one which you used to transmit an output. If you need more VRAM then just buy a new card with more than 256mb in.|||no you can only use one

Where Can I Get Drivers for my ati rage ii + DVD PCI Video Card?
I Have an ATI 3D RAGE II + DVD PCI Video card And I Want to know where i can go to get its drivers for windows XP i already checked driverguide , ATI Website & every other site you might think of and with no lick finding them I Came Here To Ask For Anyone & Everyone to help me as the only drivers i can find for it are windows 95/98/NT but not 2000 or XP If anyone Can Help Me Find a Site That has that file without any other annoying things such as scanners or version tracker or anything else that would hinder my download unusable.
thanks :)|||You simply will not find one. They were mostly used in Mac computers a long time ago. You really need to upgrade your system. there is no incentive for manufacturers to keep spending money on old cards that should have been put in the trash years ago.

Is a Visiontek ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB PCI-E Video Card good for Call of Duty?
hi i am gonna buy a Visiontek ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB PCI-E Video Card from new egg and i need to know if it is good enough to run on my computer.
my specs are
amd Athlon 64 processor 3400+
2.21 GHz, 2.87 GB of RAM
and its XP media home edition
and no graphic card which i need to get
Will Visiontek ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB PCI-E Video Card help me play CoD 4 MW1?|||That's a terrible video card.
If you want to stay with ATI GPUs, don't go any lower than the Radeon HD 4000 series.
If you go Nvidia, don't go lower than the GeForce 9 Series (though some 9 series cards are rebranded 8 series GPUs... e.g.: 9600 GSO = 8800GS).
You will manage the game with less than a Radeon 4xxx or GeForce 9xxx, but you won't get great frame rate.
Anyways, the minimum video card requirement for CoD: MW is an Nvidia Geforce 7800 or better or ATI Radeon X1800 or better. So you'll be able to play the game, but not on medium or high settings and you will most likely get poor frame rate when lots of things are happening at once.|||I only see the AGP version of the Visiontek ATI Radeon X1950 Pro on newegg, no PCI Express. The X1950 is a good card. When it was first released on October 17 2006 it was in the sub-$200 range. I would recommend getting a newer ATI HD model. The X1950 Pro will play all PC games decently if you have enough power to run it.|||It should work fine for that game. Look here to see how it stacks up against other cards. You may be able to get a faster card for the same or similar dollars.
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_e…|||The Radeon X1950 Pro was nice back in the day, but it's ancient now... that's like a 4-year old model, don't buy it!
Instead, get a Radeon 4670, it's a much better card for playing COD MW1 and MW2!

Best Video Card for under $50 all i can find is ones around $70 i was lookin at an ATI 1800XT 512MB PCI! HELP!
i need to find a good video card thats pci not pci-e when ever i search for one on say.. ebay or somtin it always says pci-e even though i type pci cuz my friend has a dell (cheap piece of crap never go dell unless its an older one) and i has a place in it where it looks like someone could soder in an agp port but i aint doin that it has 2.4ghz and 256mb ram we want to play games on it but its got a junk Intel Extreme Intergrated Graphics card in it it supports HW TnL but limited like not shader or vertex shader support its no better than an ATI RAGE PRO :/ i was think in the video card i saw in walmart it was an ATI 1800XT 512MB PCI i even look at the see threw hole in the box and it was a pci port card and was like low profile and had a small fan but ive be hearin about the card it sound pretty good and has shaders 3.0 (good enough for most our games) but it was $70 any one know where i could find it for a lil under $50 plus shipping? all i need the the url to the site so plz help!!!|||Don't get the one that plugs in to the PCI slot. The PCI video card is only as good as you secondary bridge on the motherboard and will not really perform better and may be worse.
Get the Video card that plugs into the AGP slot. The AGP is the different looking slot(s) toward the top. The advantage of the AGP Video card is it doesn't have to go through the smaller secondary host controller to communicate but just goes through the larger primary host controller before it accesses the memory and processor. The PCI Video card has to go through the smaller secondary host controller and the larger host controller before it accesses the memory and processor.
The smaller host controller also is what communicates with the hard drive and sound card and plug-ins in the back of the computer including the printer, scanner, usb devices, power management, etc. It really already has a load on it.
The AGP Video card will more than likely be more expensive but I think you will be disappointed with the PCI Video card. I was. In fact I think I have two of them I don't have any need for. They are stored in a box.
I will get the AGP Video card next no matter the cost.|||Ok that slot by the way was a retarded atempt buy dell to be able to add future memory upgrades to the integraded video, anway here is what i found
http://www.eaglebit.com/PCI_Video_Card_G…
here is a couple of options for you anything better then the 7000 is good but nothing less|||maybe u can cehck out sim lim sq or even funan it mall.or u can jus check the newspaper for it|||Try www.tiger.com or www.geeks.com both good and cheap websites which i use and trust them.

PCI or ATI video card? Which one is better?
guys i am planning to buy a new video card/graphics card. Which is better PCI or ATI?|||pci is a type of slot that u put video cards into...|||If you mean PCI ot PCIe it would be PCIe all the way because it has a higher transfer rate and supports all of the newer cards.
If you mean ATi and NVidea if you have a newer AMD settup you should go with ATI because AMD and ATI have been working hand and hand with all of the newer settups comming out and they work really great together.
If you have an older AMD you want NVidea because the older systems were designed with NVidea max support and they work wicked fast together.
If you have intel it doesnt really matter but i have found that NVidea has had the best reliability and have the faster cards with the best over clocking around.|||It is not PCI or ATI. Its supposed to be Nvidia or Ati. Anyway I go for Nvidia, because I like Nvidia very much. ATi cards are also great.
Anyway PCI is a slot, not a video card.|||ATI is a chipset...PCI is a video card "fit". I think you mean ATI or Nvidia...if so, I would say CURRENTLY it is ATI as they support Directx 11 which is awesome.|||ask daddy if its OK first!

Can I put 2, ATI Radion 9250, w/256MB PCI Video Cards in my comp, even if I wouldn't have anything hooked 2 it
Can I put 2, ATI Radion 9250, w/256MB PCI Video Cards in my comp, even if I wouldn't have anything hooked to it...?
Would I get the 512MB (1/2GB) Video RAM...?
Or would it not do anything...?|||yeah it will boot from the agp card first, and give you dual monitor abaility, but depends on your motherboard and windows on how to it handles the drivers for those graphic cards, and no it wil not give you a combined 512mb of graphical memory.
the other person who said about crossfire or xfire for ati cards its wrong since they didnt read the question correctly since you need pci-express cards for crossfire, not agp/pci|||thats called crossfire, you have to have a special motherboard for that, you can run them together but you have to set it up correctly|||You can put two in their, but there's no point. Unless you have them hooked up through SLI, in which case you'll get more than the combined memory: both cards will work in parallel, almost doubling your performance for video output.|||I've done similar things to this, so that I could run multiple desktops. I have 2 PCI video cards in a presentation computer so that I can hook up 4 monitors with unique video on each. It will not however allow the cards to work together on a single display. It will not increase your gaming performance at all, if that's what you are after.|||The card you listed only supports AGP or PCI (not PCI Express) connections and is not an ATI Crossfire supporting card. You could install multiple cards, but doing so will not enable them to work together as you are suggesting. You could use each to drive a separate display, but you wouldn't combine the processing power.

Whats the minamin PCI or AGP NVidia Video card you can use for COD 4?
Whats the minamin PCI or AGP NVidia Video card you can use for COD 4, I know you can use ATI X300 128 MB fir it,|||That all depends. If your system has a graphics card good enough but other system resources are lacking, you might have issues. But on my other machine I was running it on an 9600xt 256mb it ran it ok on a p4 400fsb 2.2ghz 1024mb RAMBUS, surprisingly.|||NVIDIA® Geforce 6600, Geforce 7800 + recommended
