im trying to figure out if i need to buy a new laptop or whatever, but one of my main things is the video card and im wondering where i can find that info|||1. Go to the start menu
2. Right click "Computer", and select Properties
3. At the bottom left, there is a Performance link, click it
4. Click "Advanced Tools" on the left side
5. Around the middle of the Advanced Tools page, you should see a link called "View advanced system details in System Information", click it
6. Expand the components, and select Display
Im assuming this is the info you need, hope this helps.|||You'll need to go to the manufacturer's web site to see if they have information on the video in your laptop. The operating system (Vista) doesn't matter; the card/chipset is hardware.|||control panel, classic view in top left corner, personalization, display settings, and advanced settings|||go to 'computer' click 'hardware devises' then, click 'video card',|||Try TuneUp Utilities, it has an excellent feature that shows vital computer information.

The right video card for me?
I have a budget about $50, and is there a video card for gamers, that is around $50, a video card that can handle like Half-Life 2 or source games, and other games related to using the source engine.|||$50 isnt enough for a graphics card to play those games.|||Nvidia GeForce XFX 8600 GT.
Its really cheap but exteremly good
I run all the source games fine on it just make sure you have a good processor because most Source games are processor dependant and you dont want your PC bottlenecking because of a bad processor.
Also if you are looking for an ATI GFX card then the ATI Radeon HD 4850 is the way to go. Its a little steep with your budget but VERY cheap for being one of the best cards out there right now.
Hope I helped best of luckl!|||Good choice going for the Source Engine Games... They are some of the best games, and one of the fastest running engines.
Would suggest buying the Orange box, and Left-4Dead
For your video card. $50 is a little low,
but try to get something at least in the nvidia 8000 or newer range and and you'll be more than fine with all the current source games.
btw I have 7950 GX2 Nvidia, and can run all of the source games at high frame rates, with settings high and fairly high resolution.
If you are having trouble finding any at the right price range, try ebay. But if you can't find one for the price, then don't cheap out.. wait a little longer and save up for a better card. In the long run, you'll appreciate it.

I use a PCI winnov card on my PC, witch makes sharing video better than USB. Are there any for laptops?
I just want to know how hard it is to intagrate a pci video card into my laptop. (such as winnov) There is software out there that allows USB camera's to share the Video streams with different applications, but it's not always compatible with some sites. However the Winnov i have on my desktop has no problem sharing, plus i like to use my camcorder when doing my live video streams.. Any idea on this or any problems that might be encountered.?
Thanks|||that it goes in faster than a pc and its digital.

Best video card for my motherboard and cpu setup?
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO AM3 AMD 890GX SATA 6Gb/s HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom 2 965 black edition quad core processor
8GB corsair ddr3 ram
I do some gaming but not much. I want a card for around 75 bucks or less, nothing crazy.|||Used is you best bet for that cash.|||I would definitely suggest that you spend less money on that lot, even if you aren't playing many games. Get a Phenom II X4 955, saves a bit of money and it's still a black edition and so on, just has a very slightly lower clock speed (can fix this with some tiny overclocking). I would consider the Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 motherboard, still features USB3 and SATA 6GB/s but is cheaper and so on.
Hardly anyone needs 8GB of RAM at the moment, for most 4GB is fine. For running games, virtual machines, Photoshop, video editing, etc. 4GB is still enough. Just get a 2x2GB kit now and then grab another later if you need more RAM.
Anyway, once you've made savings on those things you should be able to easily fit in an HD 5770 1GB, possibly a GTX 460 1GB. Those would be my recommendations. $75 isn't a lot for a graphics card.|||Since you've bought such a system it'd be a shame to put a cheap $75 graphics card in it. If it was mine I wouldn't consider buying anything less than an NVidia GTX460 or a Radeon HD6850 for it.|||u might be able to find a bare minimun for waht u need for that price but i recomend getting a nvidia video card

What do I use to reattach a glued heatsink to a video card?
I had a heat sink fall off of a video card because of defective glue. What can I use to reattach it that will not melt and provide the cooling that I need..:)|||I assume you're talking about a heatsink with no clip-on. That would require something like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||find new heatsink glue and re-glue it|||it's not glued it's heatsink conductive paste like your main chip use a TINY amount only and clip it back|||That glue was probably thermal paste. Provided this heatsink is a small one, a dab of this paste and a firm but not hard push and a few hours to settle will secure the heatsink to the chip. If it has mounting holes for a normal HSF and mounting, you may want to use that for it's better cooling ability.
