This?

 

Old old olllllld mate, don't buy that!

At the very least get an NVidia 7600GT or something similar. You want to be spending 60ish quid really.

Also, is your mainboard AGP or PCI-E for the graphics?

 

mm its a couple year old board so im sure its AGP

fook them ones then £60 is my top top price i want to spend, i'll have a look for them ones

 

Nvidia is the right company to choose but as said the FX series are old now and arent really up to much.

7600GT or if you can find one cheap enough a 7900GT(very good cards indeed, will play most new games on high settings)

 

wtf im sure i reply'd back to this the same night

I have been looking at other series ones other than fx ones lol atm i do have an 128mb fx one but its supreme! there was an 7900gt on ebay i could of went for

oh & i do have a built in graphic card in my motherboard couldnt i use that & my agp card for dual? or would i have double screens lol


Ppl giving me a right ear full for doing a dual screen setup why???

 

The cards me and the guy mentioned above both have 2 slots on the back of the cards for 2 monitors 7900GT you will be blown away if you can get that though

What spec is the rest of the pc out of interest?

 

i actaully have to wait to buy a card now

its an AMD athlonXP 3200+ 2.2 GHz, 512ram

 

Looks good mate, windows vista huh? hows it treating you, i heard some horror storys

DDR ram is well cheap, get another gig in there

 

Vista's been alright altho it is a transformation vista pack! still does everything tho & still seems as slow as it is on a proper vista op, mines on xp & the whole op sounds aint loud too maybe just the trans pack..

been thinking & very tempting about more ram i got 2 slots with 256mb in but duno how to go about it tho, 2 512mb's? or 1gb with 256mb/512mb? i know all about the speeds & have to be the same spec to work with eachother

 

Exactly as i said, add another gig, if you only have 2 slots and there used then just take out one 256mb stick and replace with the 1gig stick, then you will have 1256MB's of ram should make a fair bit of difference

And yeah as long as its the same speed/type of ram it will work fine.

Go onto crucial.com and they have a system scanner, it will not only tell you what ram you have but it will also advise on whats best

 

Dual setup doesn't work very well for games However if you are multi tasking it is very handy. I used to have Outlook on the left monitor, and the net on the right monitor

You'll need an AGP graphics card, with either dual vga outports, or a dvi and vga out put, then get a dvi-vga convertor.

I maintain not to buy pc componants off ebay, but if you must, then try and source a 7600gt or other mentioned card.

www.ebuyer.com if you're gonna do it right tho imo.

 

good link!

Says i can put in 2gb says.. Each memory slot can hold DDR PC2700,DDR PC3200,DDR PC4000 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.*

Is that only for my motherboard? if so i might do some window shopping

Atm i think mine are DDR PC2000's, also what would the top advantages be?

 

Exactly what i want 2 monitors for not gaming tho maybe afew net page games i play.. snooker, pool mostly & that, but just for pure browsing space now i got 30inchs of it

All ive bought so far is the monitor (cost afew quid more than i was hoping for but it was like a 1 off buy to match mine! so had to have it oh & another audio lead along with a 3.5mm phone lead splitter

Just guna browse that site now

 

Is a Club3d 7600GT card any good? club3d..

GPU: NVIDIA G73
GPU speed: 560 MHz
Shaders: 12
Memory Size: 256 MB
Memory Type: GDDR3
Memory Speed: 1200 MHz
DirectX: 9c
TV – Out, HDTV 720p/1080i
AGP format

Its literality 10mins walk from me also whats GDDR3 mean/do?

 

If you used Ebuyer then there should be loads of decent make 7600GT's, club3d ive never even heard of.
GDDR3 is the type of memory the card has, all new ish cards are GDDR3

 

Here you go this ones http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/118116 a more well known brand, and ive had a graphics card made by Leadtek for about 8months now, runs perfectly so this one should be a good bet

 

http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/118117

is this worth a go then .. comparing it to the other one you stated is there going to be much difference ????

 

A few extra frames per second in games, thats about it.

If you have £80 quid to spend on a new graphics card then the GT version is a great buy

 

but in reality unles you are playing bf2 in full resolution on a monster screen not much difference £25 difference tho...

 

you'd have to spend well over 100 quid to do that

Seriously though, his call what he goes for.

 

stop being pedantic you know what i mean ...
im also looking (still) at the mo ebay has nothing so very undecided but is the gt worth the £25 extra...

 

probably not for you no, for a geek yes

 

geek

 

Right then a lil update bought that one ^ thats the spec of it cost me £64 & i must say foook me its made a big differents! the card performs pukka with the 2 screens


Now looking out for possibly.. cheap RAM so if anyone got any spare i might have it please! ooh 2x1gb sticks is what im after, thought fook it might aswell top it to the max

 

good stuff glad you like it

what type ram you after? mine is pc3200 for example

 

Did that link you put up & its says each memory slot can hold pc2700, 3200 & 4000

ATM its says i got 256mb pc2000 in both slots, but i cant find anymore pc2000 of any kind (probably old crap!)

 

get some 3200 or 4000 then, either shouldnt cost much

 

Get the 3200 or 4000 (depending on budget), I have 3 gigs of the 3200 stuff in my machine

 

3 gigs? why dan? im a gamer and 2 gigs does me fine.

Does that extra gig really make much difference
