Title: Installing Graphic Card on Motherboard
Post by: Custom on November 24, 2008, 08:39:43 pm
Hello...
I have just bought a graphic card called: ASUS AH3650 SILENT/HTDI - Radeon HD 3650 - AGP 8x - 512 MB DDR2
Well, my computer has a Power Supply on 240W.
So my question is "Will the graphic card work on my computer, or?"
Thanks for reading. Hope to see some replies soon :)

Best Regards
Custom

Also all you need to know that does your motherboard have AGP 8x spot for graphic card, if not, you can't use that graphic card.

Something that might help you:

Thanks for the help. I got no problems with that. I just wanted to be sure about the power supply, before I go buy one ;)

Well, I wont take that risc. The solution is now to buy a Power Supply. Then we'll see how hard it will be to install on the motherboard, guess I need some friend IRL to help me with that :razz:
