[diana_benjo]

hi, here's is my pc specs ... i have a core2duo e7500 2.93ghz, gigabyte g41 chipset, and 4gb interleave corsair ddr2 memory... will this compatible to HD5670 ? im planning to buy a videocard because i only used shared 512mb. thank you and im hopping for best answers you can give thank you again and god bless

Yes it would work. The HD5670 needs a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and the G41 chipsets have PCIe x16 slot. It would work but at a reduced capability.

 

[diana_benjo]

what do you mean.. reduce capability?

 

[diana_benjo]

The bandwith of PCIe v1.0 is almost half of what you get in PCIe 2.0, which would hinder your cards performance. Unfortunately the cards today all are on v2.0, but due to backward compatibility of the cards they work in v1.0 as well. For more reference read this:

I think the HD5670 would be good. But at your resolution (1366x768) even a lower card would do. Just suggesting the HD5670 because of the reduced capability. If possible get a better mobo cheap.
It is also advisable that you change your PSU to something better.

 

[diana_benjo]

pardon me sir but i ddnt know what mobo mean is? is it the mainboard ? or the processor? yes im planning to change my psu also but not for this month by december for the bonuses =) so is my generic psu will affect it? ill use it only for a month. just want to play left fordead 2 and nba 2k11. thank you kind sir for the response.. so will i buy that hd5670? or this ive seen in the list EVGA GTS450 FPB 1gb ddr5 192bit?

 

[diana_benjo]

is a corsair 650watts psu good for my pc ?

 

[diana_benjo]

whats good motherboard will i use? bcoz in the store list g41 has the higher price that g31? is g31 good?

 

[hell_storm2004]

The GTS450 is better than the HD5670. if you have a budget upto that much you can go for it. But it is not necessary at your resolutions.

 

[diana_benjo]

but it has the same price on my list only a couple of maybe 50bucks will add ...just wanna know what is best for my pc??. and is my motherboard g41 chipset not the latest? coz if not for lga 775... that salesman on that store fool me =(

 

[hell_storm2004]

On the other hand your PSU needs a change. Get something better like the Corsair VX450W which may be the best 450W PSU in the market. Running modern day cards on a generic PSU may not help as they may blow up your rig.

 

[hell_storm2004]

Woah there!!! You bought the PC recently? If you did, then i must say you have been fooled big time!

 

[diana_benjo]

so i buy the psu first after that a video card =(. thanx for the help ill buy that first psu..after that the nvidia or ati?

 

[diana_benjo]

yes i bought the pc recently... may i know whats the latest board today?

 

[diana_benjo]

i mean for lga775 and ddr2?

 

[hell_storm2004]

Board, CPU, RAM all are a bit old!

Latest are the Intel Core series which is the i3, i5 (LGA1156) and i7 (LGA1366). New RAM's are DDR3. Heck, even the next line up of Intel processor/chipsets are coming into the market soon.

If only you came to the forum sooner asking for help on the new rig.
