Hello,
I am looking to replace my video card in my rackmount system that I use for a DJ business. The video card's HDMI input is no longer working.
My video card is a MSI N955GT-MD1G/D2. It is no longer available. It was a DDR2 with 1GB of RAM
I would like to update the card to a new model, but I am unsure if Graphics cards need to be compatible with the motherboard and/OS
My motherboard is a Intel DP35DP with an Intel Core 2 Quad processor P6600
PCI Express slot
Can I purchase ANY PCI Express card that will fit??? or does it need to be specifically compatible with the MB and OS
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week (the closer the better
BUDGET RANGE: $100-150) Before Rebates
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Playback of videos for specific DJ software, Virtual DJ and OTSAV
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: MSI N955GT-MD1G/D2 and CoolerMaster 550
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: CPU - Intel Quad Core P6600 / MOBO - Intel DP35DP / MEMORY - 8GB Kingston RAM / COOLING - 7 Fans
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: New Egg, Tiger Direct
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: PCI Express, been using MSI, but open to anything solid and reliable, at least 1GB dedecated RAM
OVERCLOCKING: Not necessary
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1024x768
Thanks for the help
