help please motherboard/gfx card
« on: November 24, 2007, 10:42:39 PM »
i know some about computers and have researched but could not find the answer.. I have a nVidia MCP61 motherboard with an integrated Geforce 6150SE nForce 430 gfx card... with this board can I buy another gfx card to add to it for better performance. and if so... what  the best card I can get in around the 100 dollar price range. thanks

    no, you cannot add another card to increase performance. to do that you must have an SLI or Crossfire motherboard and 2 SLI or Crossfire compatible VGA cards. (SLI is the term nvidia uses and Crossfire is the term ATI uses.)

    for a graphics card around a hundred bucks... this one is $140, but it will be a massive improvment on the integrated one.

      my apologizes, but when you said "add to it," i assumed you ment going SLI. as for my reccomended graphics card, its in my last post. click on the blue word.
