Video Card Upgrade

[Lord Mythirion]

I have an HP Pavilion a1640n. I want to know if a X1600XT can fit into my case. Thanks

 

[Atomic Rooster]

It should. It does have an available PCI-e 16x slot.

 

[Lord Mythirion]

yeah, but I just want to be sure that it will go into my case.

 

[Atomic Rooster]

They don't seem to be very long. I belive the case is 17" deep, so there should be room.

 

[esa193]

as long as it has a pci express slot

The X1600 doesn't have a very big PCB like the high-end cards, so you should be fine. Just make sure you have a PCI-E slot.

OK, thanks guys. Right now it has integrated graphics, so I want to upgrade the video card. It's a new computer that I got yesterday. Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo e6300
2GB PC4200 RAM
250GB SATA 300 Hard Drive
16x DVD(+/-)R/RW 12x RAM (+/-)R DL Lightscribe SATA drive (also CDR and CDRW compatible)
Integrated graphics shared with main RAM

Oh and after I install the X1600XT, will the integrated graphics still share my RAM?

Nope, once its disabled.

 

[Lord Mythirion]

Is it automatically disabled?

 

[♂ÇRÅßßÿ®]

Probably not, you will have to disable it in bios.
