Oh good. That's good to know that I can just buy a new motherboard, plug the old boot drive in and it will boot up normally. I thought the boot drive would be tied to the specific MB and I'd have to reinstall a clean Windows 10 then restore from a system image. My system image was about a...
Hello-
I am having computer problems that will likely require me to replace my motherboard with the same make and model, but a physically different board. I was using one of those M2 Samsung drives as a boot drive, and had a second internal mechanical hard drive for storage. On the second...
Cool thanks. While I am motivated and having used everyone's time on this thread, I'm probably just going to upgrade anyway. It won't be long before they're playing Far Cry or Battlefield or something similar, so I'll at least give them a fighting chance with something a little more powerful...
Yes, was just stating what I saw stamped on the MB.
Thanks. I was looking at the originally mentioned graphics card only because I didn't realize the cards that you all are recommending now would fit in the slot. Now that I know the slot is compatible, i'll definitely look at the 260 or...
Thanks for the advice. No, I haven't tried playing anything on it yet. I just got the machine and wanted to upgrade it for my kid and give it to him as a surprise all set up with the upgraded video card and ready to go.
However, you probably just cost me another 100 bucks : ) I didn't even...
One more question as I think I must be messing up my terminology. I'm looking at the spec sheet you linked and a picture I took of my motherboard yesterday when I opened up the computer to see what was available inside.
One available slot has PCIE1X1 stamped directly on the motherboard right...
Thanks very much for the recommendations, but I am confused. Those boards are PCI Express 3.0 x 16, and I only have a PCIE16x1 slot available. Those 3.0 boards will fit my slot? Also, won't my slot bottleneck a PCI Express 3.0 graphics card?
Do you think those cards would fit in my...
No, I hadn't. Which ones would you recommend? I don't have a lot of room in the case (maybe 7" length max) and there are no rails off the PSU for additional power and I only have 300W to play with.
Acer Aspire T ATC-605-UB11
i5-4440 processor
8GB DDR3 RAM
LITEON 300W power supply
Intel HD Graphics 4600 (integrated on MB)
one available PCIE16X1 slot on motherboard
I received the computer above as a hand me down from some relatives which I would like to give to my kid for some gaming...
Thank you very much for that explanation and the description of the frequency bands. I think I'm leaning towards that G2 now instead of the Moto 4G.
EDIT: Bummer! That G2 in the link above is now $464 :( I guess I missed that deal!
