Look carefully before buying a modern graphics card for an older PC. Many of the newer cards will need one or two suplimentary power plugs on to the card as the card slot can't deliver enough juice. It is very common now to need a new power supply to give the right plugs availability when you upgrade the graphics card. I did this recently to my son's PC, bought a new ATI graphics card and a 750 watt PSU to go with it. Also, be aware that many cards now take up the space of two slots in the PC case, make sure your PC case will accomodate the new card space wise.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

Good points but that's not unique to new cards, top-end ones have been that way for years. Manufacturers make low-power slimline versions too, it is a bit tricky though buying online.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

On German TV at the moment they're showing tips on computer bits going wrong and one was a graphics card:
- open your oven
- make 4 little balls of aluminuim foil and place on baking tray
- place graphics card on little balls
- shut oven door
- cook for 10 minutes at 110
And it worked. The video is probably here somewhere“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
