PCChips P23G & Celeron D 356 OEM
« on: February 10, 2007, 05:40:54 AM »
Hi,

I want to upgrade my PC to this mobo. I like this mobo because it's on sale and it allows me to use the RAM and the IDE harddrives I already have and it leaves me the path to upgrade to core 2 in the future if I ever need it. But the problem is I can't find info about the onboard video. I need to know what resolution it supports. I check everywhere, even PCChip's website doesn't mention anything about it, I am wondering if someone here who knows this mobo can tell me about it.

Thanks.

B.

    Go to Newegg.com, search for PCChips P23G & Celeron D 356 OEM, tell me where in the spec mention anything about the video resolution.

    As I said before, I did the search and found nothing. Otherwise I wouldn't have post the question here.

    Onboard graphics will get you at least 1024 x 768. I can't imagine a need for higher resolution with onboard graphics. It will never be a gaming machine with onboard video. What were you planning on doing with the machine?

    Thanks GX1_man

    My PC is a dual monitor system. Right now I have a 22" wide screen with 1680x1050 resolution, witch is driven by a nVidia card, the secondary monitor is a 15" driven by the onboard video, 1024x768. I just got a 17" with a native resolution of 1280x1024. (Right now it's on 1024x768 and it looks odd.) I am hoping may be if I upgrade the mobo to support that resolution so that I don't have to get a seperate video card.

    Oh, by the way, the PC I am using now is a run of the mill 1.2G Celeron mobo runs Windows2000 sp4, generally speaking, can a mobo like that support two video cards?

    Monitors are like steaks, the bigger the better.  ;D

    Thanks.
