Hi all I just need some help on upgrading my pc and few recommandations as this is the first time i'm doing it. The motherboard i got at the moment is the Quasar (MS6786) V1.0 µATX motherboard... I want to upgrade my memory by adding 512mb on top of what i currently got 256mb. I found this memory chip and i want to know if its suitable... http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=34005 I also want to upgrade my graphics card. This is more difficult for me to choose upon and i'm worried that it might not be able to fit in my pc. Heres a link from ebuyer of some graphics card. http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...col=sell_price&order=ASC&show=stock&offset=80 My budget is limited so try not to go over £40 (Which includes VAT) for the graphics card. Thanks alot
That RAM is the right type for your motherboard. However, I wouldn't recommend getting that stick because it's an Ebuyer extra value item. A lot of eBuyer's extra value stuff is knocked off, and half of it doesn't work! I'd recommend you spend a little more on RAM and go for some Kingston or NEC As for the graphics card, you need an AGP X8 (AGP 3.0) compatible card. Basically any modern day AGP card will work
ok heres a kingston: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=49294 will this work on my motherboard? If not can you find me some on that site and also recommand me to a good graphics card...theres loads there for about £30.. is this good? http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=66031 Thanks alot for all the help. I'm a beginner at this type of stuff
Sorry I don't have time to do your shopping for you , however that stick of RAM will not work in your motherboard. You need to buy PC2700 333MHz DDR RAM. I am no expert on Graphics cards, however £30 is not going to buy state-of-the-art, if you know what I mean. On a good note though, even a card in this price range will be better then the on-board graphics adaptors found on most motherboards.
i've got a chipset at the moment and apparently i cant upgrade my graphics card. But it seems i can so i'm happy. I aint too bothered about the graphics card, i just want to play quake 3 arena and halo on it Other games i play on ps2.... found this memory, i think this is better http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=42149 can anyone else recommand me to a good graphics card in that price range....look on ebuyer, theres loads cant decide which one is good
According to what I googled up, that motherboard has an AGP slot in it. (I can't find a working link in english, but the diagram specifies an AGP slot on your motherboard). This would be your best bet for around £30.
thanks alot guys. I'll buy these two: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=42149 & http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=62209
