I do not want readymade graphics. I want to write about me in few words and get the code for myspace and my blogs on Yahoo.

These are flash graphics. the main topics of designs are fun and hearts.
i have a budget of US$170. kindly guide me that which thing is best to play games. Can i buy graphics card for computer which price is almost US$150-US$170. An
And also Sony reduces the price of PSP to US$164. So which thing i can buy, can i buy PSP or buy 3d Graphics card to play games. Which thing give me good performance to enjoy the games efficiently.
Note i have Intel PIV 3.4 (HT) GHZ computer. So please guide
My friend make haste and buy that psp right now because a graphics card works but some of the games might end up working slow. I have seen people who have psp and enjoy long hours of 3D gaming with music, internet facilities etc.
I LOVE my PSP. It is one of the best investments I have made. Music, video, games, pictures, web browser...dude- it rocks. And I had to pay 250 for mine when I go it- thats a great price.
PSP I think
All top games availible at good prices at

portable gaming is the best thing to happen since console gaming.
I have a Radeon 9500 graphics card that had been installed in my eMachines computer since December. Recently, the card just stopped working. There was no signal being sent to my monitor. I opened up my computer and took it out to get a look at it. There is a ton of dust built up on/in the fan. Will simply clearing the dust out with an air can make it work again? Will I have to buy a new fan? Or is the card just toast? Thanks
Hi there:
FIRST *** Thank you SOOooo much for providing some really great information that makes helping you " to the point" instead of a guessing game...
It was a good thing that you looked at the card and now can clean the fan and heatsink - please do this with the power supply and all other fans in the case while you are at it - it will prevent future failures.
Now - to the video... With the video, there are really a number of things you should check, so, here we go...
Get another video card - any video like a cheapo used 2 meg PCI card in the old bin at a computer repair bin for $3 bucks, and
plug it in to make certain that the MONITOR is not your problem - how else would you know?? The cheapo card should at least come on to the DOS BIOS setup screen if nothing else, and allow you to regain control of the computer...
Also, you run into tanother AGP/ PCI problem in that sometimes the BIOS setting is BOOT TO AGP FIRST,
so that you STILL might not see anything, so that... you need
either another CHEAPO AGP card, again a 2 or 4 MEG old card, maybe $5 from a " used " bin... or try removing the AGP card when you boot from the PCI - the BIOS on the motherboard, " MAY" find no AGP , and then re-direct to PCI, but not always..
Finally, you need to asses whether another MONITOR would work. Take the tower to a friend's or borrow a nearby MONITOR
as a final check if none of the above will give you a BIOS screen.
ALSO, in the case of a DUAL output Video card, some makes and revisions only boot on ONE monitor plug - which one are you plugged into? ( if there are 2 )
Then, once you are booted to a startup BIOS screen, with a cheapo, working PCI or AGP card, and a known working MONITOR, then you can start to assess what the AGP 9500
problem might be. There are many BIOS settings, that you can try. You can take the AGP 9500 and try it in another computer - say take it to a repair/ parts/ builder local store, and ask them to throw it in a machine to see if it boots to BIOS. If it does, ok...
If it does not boot to default DOS, VGA, low res. you are probably in trouble with the card...
THEN
You have to assess whether or not the FLASH programming on the video chipset has been corrupted - on most new Video cards, you can RE-Program the card itself with a FLASH program, just like the BIOS on the main motherboard - was this flash corrupted?
You would have to boot from a PCI ( check the BIOS, boot from ____ video first ), and then use a download from the web , in a running computer, to re-flash ( the upgrade ) the video card itself.
(check the website of the radeon to see if this is a feature available on your card - if the 9500 is a card made by another manufacturer, you have to go to THAT website first... )
Make certain BEFORE you put the card in any machine that the fan, although now " clean " is actually turning. I have run into a LOT of fans where one of the two coil sets is completely burnt out, and the fan will either not start at all ( it will run SLOW if you start it ) or, it may start at random, every 5 or 6 times, and run, but be so slow that it does not cool anything...
After switching Video cards, Monitors, and Computers to test the unit, and then trying FLASHING the Video chips, you will probably
know whether or not there is any hope left....
OR1234 above has a really good suggestion as well, in the
power supply upgrade on the unit, if you put in a high end card
or get your old one going - check the total WATTAGE of the
power supply on the computer's power supply while you have the case open. Higher end units today have a reliable brand name like ANTEC etc. runing at 600 to 800 WATTS total output.
The card still could be good !
good luck - it is a nice card

A good cleaning and reseating it might fix the problem..
Most likely you'll need a new card, but you can try blowing the dust out of the fan first. If the fan was not working efficiently, you could have fried the card.
your computer probably got fried in a storm and it just affected you graphics card
start with a cleaning then I would reboot the computer completely maybe a file got messed up. I had a modum that done that. They should last longer then a year. does it have a warrenty?
sounds like the card is fried had one of them till about three months back allways used nvidia before i got that one gone back to nvidia with new one......
try blowing out the dust, etc.and try again. if that doesn't work, and your motherboard has integrated graphics (which most emachines do) try plugging your monitor into that port. sometimes, especially on nonsurge protected machines, when a power blip or similar event happens, the motherboard can reset all BIOS and CMOS settings, thus would cause the signal to be sent, not to your card, but to the integrated port. you may need to change it back. if THAT doesn't work, try putting the card in another machine, and trying it there. should it not work then, then it is definatly the card and not a software,etc issue. likely, a pwer sureg, lightning strike,etc. fried the chip and wont produce a signal. if its still under warranty (probably not) youll need a new card. assuming youre on AGP (due to the age of the card) i would reccomend either a 6600gt or a 6800xt. theyre both very good cards that run excellently.
Hope this helps!
It might work again if your clean it up, but more likely all that dust has made it run so hot it burned up. All the high-performance video boards produce a lot of heat, which is why they all have their own fans. Screw the fan up = Burn the board up.
It might also be that your power supply has failed. E-machines, like most others, installs a power supply that is barely adequate for the original setup. If you add a power hungry board to it, you may pull the voltages down to where performance is marginal. Granted, if it worked for 8 months, this is not the most likely case. If it were mine and I had to replace the video board, I'd install a better, higher-capacity PS too.
Try cleaning the fan first. If it is not working, then get a new fan. Then, after you get the new fan and still not working, I am 80% sure that your Video card is toasted.
I am getting a new computer and I'm wondering if you have a directx 10 graphics card can you play directx 9 games?
And is it worth it to get a directx 10 graphics card if you cant?
Microsoft has decided that backward compatibly with DirectX 9,8,7 isn't really necessary as there will probably will be even less compatible with Vista.
Even so, dear Microsoft hasn't totally forgotten us. Some sort of 閳ユ竷ompatibility閳?will be available through a software layer (probably some emulation) which will have its price in system resources, as it will run much slower. The good news is that DirectX 10 will relieve some of the burden on the CPU.
And of course it will have support for the next generation of Pixel Shaders 4.0, although it will probably surface before even Vista's release due to the rapid development of graphic cards.
yes you can play DX9 games and all previous games that run on DX. yes it is worth it to get the DX10 grpahics card because the newer games will run on DX10(Halo 2 Vista for example).
I would think so. But if you have a 9, then you can't play the Ten. Sounds like a card game.
It is a Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator X3100. I don't wanna here about how Intel is crap, I know it is, but can you give me some kind of idea about the kind of games I can play on it. (I have 2GB Ram and a 1.5Ghz duo 2MB Cache processor)
well it is direct x 10 capable but it is still an integrated graphics chipset. You will only be able to play casual games on it. Anything else will lag or possibly even have horrible lag
well, athough support directx10m but what do you expexct from onboard graphic card???well, it still can be used to play light games like tycoon series, and the sims 2 i think, but dont hope you can turn on all graphic option
you could pretty much run all the free mmorpg games like flyff, rakion, gunbound, CS, war rock!
I can't find it on the s3 graphics site, but I do think that the card is no longer supported by the company. If it isn't, could someone please tell me a good recommendation for a good card that is? It will be used for pc gaming.
No, S3 cards are not T%26amp;L Compatible. Many on-board video cards are not T%26amp;L Compatible.
If you're trying to get a gaming card, try www.tomshardware.com for benchmarks for video cards. Then you have to know what type of slot you have (PCI-E, AGP, or plain PCI only).
hi just wont to know if i can add Graphics to a laptop
no, they all come with onboards graphics, although the chipsets used vary and are similar to the names of graphic cards for desktops. my missus bought one about 6 mths ago and it had ati x200 on board in it.
It depends on the laptop. Many have integrated graphics that are built into the motherboard, so this isn't an option.
I'd suggest downloading the documentation for your laptop from the website of it's manufacturer. If it's supported, they should (hopefully) mention this.

Can you refine you question to a more understandable way?
If you meant adding/replacing a graphic card, you have to check with your computer manufacturer for computer specs. In addition, graphic cards for laptops are hard to find, so I suggest you get a new laptop.
If you meant adding graphics as in pictures, then just copy and paste it into your computer directly. Unless you are using a mac(which is a harder issue), then you have to open each picture and use the "Save As..." option to save each file individually.
yes u can
yes and no peter
theres two answers to this,first there is a technology manufactured by nvidia called mxm or Mobile PCI Express Module
basically this is a add-on module that slips into a slot,very similar to the way you would upgrade your laptops memory,and the idea was that you could upgrade your onboard nvidia 6150 for example and add a geforce 7600gs module and once you have disabled the onboard graphics you could use the new mxm chip
however the cost of manufacturing these chips put the price of them around 4 times the price of a standard pci-express card so not many users wanted to buy them,and also not all laptops were compatible
so this leads me on to the answer "no",most laptops made today cannot be upgraded simply because the size of the laptop makes this difficult and because a graphics adapter is built on to the actual laptops mainboard,for example in a desktop a radeon x1300 would be sloted into a agp or pci-express slot and drivers installed
the x1300 in a laptop is soldered on to the mainboard in the laptops case,this is basically similar in design to the x1300 card however in the case of the laptop the gpu has been designed to be fitted in a laptop
finally there is another option open to you,although its not much good,a usb graphics adpater like the IOGear USB 2.0 External Video Card (http://www.everythingusb.com/iogear_usb_...
this is a graphics adapter that can fit in a usb2.0 port and will support resolutions up to 1680 x 1050
its main specs are
Output: 15-pin analog VGA
Supported resolutions: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 864, 1280 x 768, 1280 x 960, 1280 x 1024, 1680 x 1050
Supported platforms: Windows XP/2003 Server/Vista (mirror mode)
USB power source: Bus-powered
Released date: May 2007
its a new idea but i dont think nvidia or a.t.i need to worry !
hope this helps,any problems let me know
good luck peter !
