Use on-board graphics or install video card?
Hi, I just purchased an HP a6650f desktop (quad core, 6GB DDR2 RAM, 500GB HD, Vista Home Premium) after the computer I built 4 years ago died, Mobo issue I think.
It's actually a nice computer but I don't know if I should install my old video card or keep what's in it.
Comes with:
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE Graphics with TurboCache with 128MB dedicated graphics memory. Up to 1343MB Total Available Graphics Memory as allocated by Windows Vista
Available to install:
BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC PCIx16 256MB GDDR3. According to Newegg.com it's Vista Compatible.
One thing to consider is that the computer only has a D-sub connection while the video card had two digital connections and my monitor is a 24" LCD.
I use the computer for internet, documents, some gaming, and light photo editing.
Thanks,
Deros
