Radeon X600 upgrade path
My Hewlett Packard m1090n (3.6GHz, upgraded to 3GB ram) has a defective
Radeon x600 video card. Since I have to replace the card anyhow, I would like to utilize this opportunity to upgrade to a higher end video card. I should probably stick with the same brand. So, what would be a suitable ATI card? It should be PCI Express, and the computer has a 300w power supply. I could replace the power supply, but would prefer to avoid doing so. Lastly, I don't have an empty slot below the video card, unless I move the soundcard to a different slot. I run mostly business apps, do a lot of email and web surfing, and do some video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

If it is a warrentyissue, HP is the one that should be contacted. Could also be that it's out of warrenty, as HP standard warrenty in most areas is 1 year (can be extended for extra cost I guess). -- Clas Mehus - "Den som har flest prylar när han dör vinner..." |

I guess a Radeon X1300-based board will suite you needs. -- Clas Mehus - "Den som har flest prylar när han dör vinner..." |

"Frodo" wrote in message hlink.net... ATI X1600. That's a good thought, I think I'll give it a try. Specs for this card say a 300w power supply is adequate, which is nice since I won't have to change the ps. One question, if you or any else knows...it includes a "7 pin S-Video to HDTV (YPbPr) cable". However, even if it will fit, how can the resulting signal be HDTV? S-Video is a much lower lever signal compared to hidef, so it doesn't make sense. |

Because that's technically not an S-video connector, which normally has only
4 pins. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."
