new monitor, man?

He's tried a different monitor.

What is the model number of your Compaq Chad?

 

[ChadBC]

Sr1620nx.

 

[Atomic Rooster]

OK. Your model has an available PCI Express slot for a video card.

What are you doing mainly with the computer? Playing games, watching videos, surfing the web?

If playing games, which ones?

 

[ChadBC]

Nope, haven't played any games, at least yet. Mainly just surfing the web and sometimes watching videos.

 

[Atomic Rooster]

Ok.

A good general use video for you would be a VisionTek Radeon HD 2600PRO for $42.99. It's not the greatest at gaming. but it offers much improved graphics over your current on-board video and it wont break the bank.

For a little better gaming capability, a ZOTAC GeForce 8600GT 256MB for $65.99 will work nicely with your system

 

[ChadBC]

Alright. Thanks. So, if I buy one of these, it'll be easy enough for me to do it by myself without sending it to a computer place and spending even more money?

 

[Atomic Rooster]

Yup it should be. It's not very hard to install a video card. Plus, you have plenty of help right here.

Alright, cool. Thanks for all the help everyone, especially you. I'll definitely look into this and try to get this all sorted out.

Anyways, thanks so much.
