As the PAN CARD is not having any address written on it,why I have to supply a photo id and a photo and a heavy charge when the address is being changed at the I Tax deparment record only.I wrote a mail to them to this effect but they don’t have even the courtsey to reply.

Why don’t you call and ask? I doubt anyone here knows much about Indian bureaucracy.

I have this power supply:
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0257452
I might buy this graphics card:
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0294019
I was wondering if my power supply can run the card..
Im a bit confused with the 12V

You can run that card no problem. I would however recommend that you buy an ATI 4850 for roughly the same price. It’s a better card for the money.

Your powersupply has 2 12v rails each supplying 18amps, so you have 36 amps on the 12v rails, more than enough to power that card (which requires 26).

Hope this helps.

I am planning on buying a HP pavillion elite desktop (i know i can build one)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Elite+Desktop+with+AMD+Phenom%26%23153;+II+Quad-Core+Processor/9840504.p?id=1218182298296&skuId=9840504

The graphics card is really weak, everything else is really good but its not meant for gaming.
ATI Radeon HD 5450 Series.
The computer has a power supply of 300 watts.

Now ive heard that its difficult installing a power supply and video card in a pre-built pc and the case is really small so installing might be a hassle.

The question is what video card and power supply do i need to enjoy high setting gaming
and is it easy to upgrade the video card and power supply?
Link isnt working, Just search HPE-210y Hp pavillion elite desktop in Bestbuy.

It is tough to find a suitable higher end GPU/PSU combination that is compatible with a prebuilt computer’s size. You will need to go for something abit more mid-range unless you swap cases.

An HD 5770 should have no trouble fitting in a HP Pavilion case. You may even be able to squeeze an HD 5850 in there. A PSU with 40A on the 12v rail is required for an HD 5850, and 18A for the HD 5770.

Wattage ratings on the sides of the PSUs dont mean a thing. There is a lot of variation in quality between PSU manufacturers and between models in a manufacturers lineup unfortunately. When shopping for PSUs always look for the max load table, on newegg its usually one of the images. If its not skip that PSU and move on.

As a general rule of thumb a good 500-550W unit with ~40A on the 12V rail will run any single GPU card, a good 700-750W unit with ~60A on the 12V rail will run most crossfire or SLI setups. The 5770 is low power so you could safely crossfire it on a quality 650W unit.

My recommended PSUs for each single card:
5770: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008
5850: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371030

As for the PSUs fitting in the case, I wouldn’t know.

I tried to run Sims 2 and its expansion packs on this computer and the graphics kept glitching so I need a new graphics card. I need one that has at least 512MB and will work for this computer:

This desktop has 300W power supply.
Also I would prefer it to be quiet and under $100. Thanks!

its not the grapx card….that card is over kill for that game, try reinstalling the sims or getting anoth copy….btw that card has 1 gig of memoy

My computer is HP Pavilion a6642p Desktop PC. I am running Windows 7 RC1. I read a conversation about someone buying a graphics card and power supply (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Hardware&thread.id=2493), but I want something newer that will run all my games on high, and that I wont have to replace. I also think I need a new power supply, so if the card you’re suggesting needs more than the 550 watt one suggested in the thread, please tell me.

PC Specs: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=3825388&lc=en&cc=tr&dlc=tr&lang=tr&cc=tr

There’s no such thing as one you’ll never have to replace (in 10 years, the best computer of today will be someone’s door stop), but the nVidia GTX 275 should run any of today’s games at full (it’s 3 generations newer than the 9600 mentioned in the thread). You’ll probably want at least 4GB RAM (more if you can, and if you can run a 64 bit OS – it won’t be usable in a 32 bit OS).

The power supply can be 700 watts or more – I’d go for 1,000 watts, or even 1,200 watts, to allow for the future. (The computer uses what it needs. A 1,200 watt power supply in a 700 watt computer is just loafing and should last forever.)

Hello, i just bought a emachines computer that came with a 250W power supply: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9999111700050017&st=emachines&lp=4&type=product&cp=1&id=pcmprd111800050017

and i was wondering what good 512mb video cards can i get without upgrading the power supply. can u give me a list of cheap 512mb cards. Thank you very much.
oh the computer has a MCP61PM-GM motherboard. i haven’t changed it.

The 250 watt power supply used in an Emachines PC would generally be a Bestec ATX-250-12E, with 17A on the +12V rail. (I encourage you to open the case, and read the label right on the power supply, to find out exactly what it is.)

The lowest powered video card, which still has semi-credible performance, is a GeForce 9500GT, which draws about 35 watts. Make sure you select a GDDR3 version card, not one of the slower GDDR2 (or DDR2) versions.

Example, GIGABYTE GV-N95TD3-512I, GeForce 9500GT 512MB GDDR3, $60,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125260

If you run the 9500GT, and it’s still not 100% stable running games, then you’ll be stuck buying a better power supply anyway.

I have dis PC I was wondering which graphics card would be best with this PC and if my PC can handle the graphics card & has enough power in my power supply to use it thank you.
Oh and im using this graphics card to play crysis so yeah Thankyou

I dunno please help me.

In my opinion the gts 250 is the best choice for your configuration, the ati 5750 is a little bit slower and the 9800 gt is an "old" card.

Hi all,

Well i have just bought a new powercolor HD 4350 graphics card to replace my sapphire radeon x1300 256mb PCI-e.
But have noticed no real change in graphic stability if so worse
I play age of pirates 2 and on my old card i had to play on everything low in catalyst and in the game, and even then it would stutter every now and then but it was playable and i put up with it until i got this new graphic card.
So just got the new card, unistalled the old catalyst and installed the new card with the drivers on the CD.
So i start up age of pirates 2 on the same low settings i was playing it with on my old card, and id say it plays worse stuttering is much more frequent..? i made sure everything was on low in game ( foilage, sea detail, texture quality) all on low. how could this 512 card play worse than my 256?
So i go into the new catalyst setting and turn the 3D settings all to performance. opened up age of pirates 2 and still framerate laggy. it seems to be able to handle graphics but cant keep a stable framerate

I also play league of legends even that game has a decrease in performance on very low.
and on the back of the powercolor box it has a pic of the new card playing the new tom clancys HAWKS game and the games i play are far from as graphical as that game.

My specs are:

Intel Pentium D 805 2.66Ghz,2.67Ghz
1GB RAM (1st: DDR2 667 512MB) (2nd. DDR2 533 512 MB)
500w Raidmax power supply
512MB radeon 4350

Can anyone help me its drivin me nutz lol…

Here is a link to my new graphics card and my old graphics card:

(New Card): http://www.powercolor.com/global/products_features.asp?id=145

(Old Card): http://www1.sapphiretech.com/en/products/graphics_specifications.php?gpid=124

Your system is definitely bottle necking the card a bit. 1GB more of RAM would help tremendously.

Download the newest Catalyst Drivers here (10.4)

That might just solve the problem without having to do any hardware changes.

im thinking of getting a new video card
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_558&item_id=028875
but im not sure my power supply can handle it
my power supply – 480W
Video card – 480W

U should have specified what type of power supply do u use.

A 480W PSU with efficiency rating of up to 70% may supply power of up to 330W pure power.

The graphic card ur talking about is HD5570 of Sapphire. It’s a low powered card and most often, card manufacturers tell us to get an overrated PSU to run the card just to be safe because most users don’t understand the power efficiency ratio.

I’m sure that ur PSU is powerful enough.

The last thing anybody in America needs is a National ID Card.

The Wall Street Journal broke the story. The Obama Administration is getting ready to roll out the idea of a National ID Card with your fingerprints embedded in it. The ostensible reason? To try to go after the illegal alien problem.

The problem is, the Democrats don’t see the illegal aliens as a problem. They see them as a supply of fresh voters and fresh Union members.

They are going to suggest that if we have a biometric National ID Card it will solve our national security. It will go after the illegal aliens. But, what I also expect them to sneak into the bill is the same agenda the president talked about when he gave that speech in Guadalajara last year. He wants amnesty and a path to citizenship.

The last thing America should do is reward 12 million people for breaking our laws for the better part of a decade.

hello i want to buy this video card here:
http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0311192

it says u need a minimum of 350 watts on a power supply and 18 amps on 12 volt rail
so i will get this: http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0257451

its what i need for the 9500 gt but it doesn’t have 18 amps on the 12 volt rail.

so do i need a larger amount of watts power supply?
Hey thank you for the very usefull info, but this doesnt have a pci e connector. and the graphics card is a pci e card. so what now?

That power supply will surely run your card, it has multiple 12v rails is why you don’t see 18 amps on just one. But as a warning, that is a horrible price to performance ratio on that psu, you are getting ripped off.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339019

this is a much better power supply at a much better price, and I just found that by quickly browsing newegg.com. you can find ones that are cheaper than that, just make sure they have good reviews. You can always go to an even better one and still stay under your 50$ if your concerned about stability at all.

Easiest way I’ve found to browse them is to click "computer hardware" tab at the top, go to power supplies, then click on the left, power supplies, not server power supplies, and on the right of the screen, click view all power supplies, and then sort them by best rating or most reviews.

Ok I have this computer http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/522089-REG/HP_Hewlett_Packard_GN561AA_ABA_Pavilion_a6230n_Desktop_Computer.html
I want to buy this Graphics Card http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0276270
Note: I didnt touch anything on my new computer except replace the power supply for a 600W.
Do i need anything else?

that card already has a cooler on it

however, you may want to buy a fan and attach it to the side of your PC right next to the video card (drill holes). If you find the computer overheats a lot, then do this, since nothing is more frustrating than spending money on a video card and finding that your computer keeps restarting during games.

Hi. I need to know if this graphics card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130318
would work with this computer.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8838626&productCategoryId=abcat0501001&type=product&tab=2&id=1210377527204#productdetail
Also, would like to know if I would need a new power supply. The one In that computer is 300W I believe.
Well, will this power supply fit?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339001

Yes it will work, but get a better power supply. The one that comes with it will not be able to handle that card.

Okay here’s my issue I want a new Graphic card to play computer games. The graphic card i have now is only 128mb(model: ATI Raedon x300 series). The new one that i have my eyes on is 512mb which can be found below. I was woundering if my computer’s power supply can handle the graphics card because i have 300W powersupply with….
-Pentium D(dual core)
-3gb
-2 optical drive
-tuner card
-128mb graphic card ( which will be replace with the 512mb if it works)
-2 fans
Does the card requires 300watts for itself or it only needs a power supply of 300watts?

CAN MY COMPUTER HANDLE IT?

Graphic card-
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8526455&productCategoryId=abcat0507002&type=product&tab=2&id=1186007527970#productdetail
-250GB HDD
-6 usb ports ( 4 of them are being use the other 2 ports are only for recharing ipods and mp3)

Yeah that card will work with a 300w PSU, but don’t waste your money on such a terrible card. It’ll perform almost exactly the same as the card you have now. And half of that 512MB will go to waste as the card doesn’t have a 256bit bus…so in reality you’re getting a 256MB card.

At least go for an 8600GT if you want any kind of performance increase.

how do i know the wattage the following graphics card uses? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+GeForce+9400+GT+1GB+DDR2+PCI+Express+Graphics+Card/9653024.p?id=1218138183774&skuId=9653024
i have a 300W power supply and i am wondering if this is enough.

Yes that power supply will support your card sense it requires a 300W power supply but will use just 50w

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9156478&type=product&id=1218038551741

I also know, that I will need to replace the power supply. If so, what kind of powersupply would I need? is the power supply hard to install in a quad core?

If you are already planning to install a graphics card and power supply, then why not go all out and learn how to build a computer for yourself. If you learn how to install a graphics card and power supply, you are basically doing the necessary steps in the process of building a complete system. Just go to you tube and look up things like installing a motherboard, installing a CPU, and spreading thermal paste. You will find many helpful videos. Now I am going to take your $500 budget and maximize it with parts from newegg.com… That system you want from best buy is crap for gaming. 1.8ghz isn’t nothing when you want performance in gaming, why blow your money needing more to begin with…

NEW YORK — Retiree Gene O’Brien hurried to the World Trade Center site after Sept. 11, 2001, as a volunteer helping to shuttle supplies to police and fire workers. Some days, his only ID to get into the disaster site was a tattoo on his forearm.

"A couple times I showed them my Marine tattoo, and they said go ahead," recalled O’Brien, adding that he and other volunteers also came up with their own makeshift identification cards.

"We didn’t forge anything, we just made them up with our own pictures and at one point we copied a UPC code off a Pepsi can and they were as good as gold," said the Scarsdale resident.

It might not be so easy the next time disaster strikes.

In an effort to provide better control and coordination, the federal government is launching an ambitious ID program for rescue workers to keep everyday people from swarming to a disaster scene. A prototype of the new first responder identification card is already being issued to fire and police personnel in the Washington, D.C., area.

Proponents say the system will get professionals on scene quicker and keep untrained volunteers from making tough work more difficult.

But they also know it is a touchy subject, particularly for those devoted to helping in moments of crisis.

"Wow, how in the world do we say this without love and respect in our hearts?" said deputy assistant U.S. Fire Administrator Charlie Dickinson.

"Everybody wants to come to the fight, so to speak, and no one wants to step back and say ‘No, I can’t do this.’ The final coup de grace was the World Trade Center. Hundreds came that were never asked," Dickinson said. "Good intentions, good hearts, and it was extremely difficult for the fire department and the other departments to deal with them."

The Federal Emergency Management Agency came up with the idea after the World Trade Center attack and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when countless Americans rushed to help — unasked, undirected, and sometimes unwanted.

Many of those volunteers angrily dispute the notion they were a burden. They insist that in many instances they were able to deliver respirators, hard hats, and protective boots to workers when no one else seemed able.

Ground zero volunteer Rhonda Shearer and her daughter launched a fast-moving supply system that bypassed regular channels, often infuriating city officials.

Even as she delivered box trucks packed with supplies over months of recovery work, she increasingly ended up in a cat-and-mouse game with New York City’s police and emergency management agency.

Shearer, 53, said the experience convinced her that agencies are ill-equipped to handle major disasters — but don’t want outsiders pointing out their failings.

Similar frustrations arose after Katrina, when people were shocked that the government struggled to take basic supplies such as water to the worst areas.

"They’re more worried about keeping volunteers out than doing an analysis of what really went wrong," Shearer said. "Independent citizens need to be involved, where we have no ax to grind or cross to bear. But we will tell the truth, and we will tell what we see and bear witness to the incompetence."

Dickinson, the federal fire official, said the government is not trying to discourage volunteers, but he thinks there should come a time, within a few days of a disaster, when civilians step back and let the professionals take control.

Supporters say the ID cards could be checked at a disaster area with a card-reader device and used to verify a person’s unique skills. For example, if police officers have been trained to handle hazardous materials, officials at the scene could deploy them to an area where their skills would be best put to use.

For reasons ranging from general safety to protection from lawsuits, construction and demolition companies want to see a disaster ID card program succeed.

Mike Taylor, executive director of the National Demolition Association, said his industry is talking with aides to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger about putting it in place in his state.

"If California goes ahead and does that, it will flow across the country. This is a really smart idea by someone in the Bush administration to be able to control access to the site and frankly, make sure there are no untrained people," Taylor said. "If somebody goes running down to the site, you have to stop and ask them, wait, are they certified to do this work?"

Figures California would be the first to sign up for more regulatory activities. Communists love to tell people what they can or can’t do. If a well-intentioned volunteer gets hurt because of his/her own stupidity that’s just too bad. They shouldn’t be allowed to sue anybody, and therefore there would be no liability and no need for such an id. We have become a nation of pussies. (see what I mean? Yahoo communists: little kittens is not a bad word!)

no idea how to tell but here are the links to the power supply, graphics card and computer. Already have computer and card, and friend gave me this power supply and dont want to have it put in if its going to mess up the cpu or new graphics card Any help i would appreciate

There is absolutely no reason I can see that they won’t work together. I hope your friend also gave you the power supply cables, since it is a very good modular power supply. It will easily run that whole rig.

I have this power supply with 19A each on 3 rails,
http://www.coolermaster.co.uk/product.php?product_id=2573,
and also this graphics card,
http://www.zotac.com/httpdocs/brochures/vga/ZT-20101-10P_GTS-250-512MB_v1.pdf,

The problem is the PC cant even start with it inside, its like trying to start a car with a dead battery. It powers fine without the card. I guess the power supply is weak. Am I right to buy another more powerful power supply, any recommendation for one is welcome. Thanks

The power supply is ample.

Make sure that the additional 8 pin power at the rear of the card is connected properly.

Try swapping rails, I’ve had success with this in the past…
A PSU tester would be useful…

Can you try the card in another PC?
This might put the card in the clear, or mot – as the case may be…

Good Luck!

Where do I get a Proof of Age card OR a Photo ID card from in Sydney, NSW?

I am in my 40’s, so obviously this is not school or uni student related.

I don’t have a drivers licence and I don’t have a passport.

But I need some sort of Photo ID for personal reasons.

I thought the RTA supplied them but according to their website they stopped issuing them in 2008.

I have done a Google search but am just going around in circles.

Can anyone offer guidance?

Thank you.

The NSW Proof of Age card has been replaced by the NSW Photo card and you still get them from the RTA:
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/photocard.html

The application form is RTA 1359:
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/publicationsstatisticsforms/downloads/45071151.pdf
Simply return the completed form to the motor registry with appropriate proof of identity documents, proof of residential address and the administration fee which is $44.

I have a emahcines with a 250w power supply computer here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9999111700050017&st=emachines&lp=4&type=product&cp=1&id=pcmprd111800050017

and i was wondering what good 512mb video card could i get without upgrading or changing the power supply. maybe a video card that could run cod4 and crysis no problem.

Thank you very much

According to the specs for that system at BestBuy, your Emachines has an available PCIExpress 16x slot for graphics cards.

For a 250-watt power supply, I recommend sticking with a graphics card that draws under 75 watts of electrical power. That means either the nVidia 9500GT or the ATI Radeon HD4670.

Hope this helps.

Hey, I bought a pre-built computer a while ago, I wasnt really for pre-built but the base model was quite decent, with an nvidia nforce mobo, a quad core at 2.66 ghz and 8 gigs of RAM blu-ray 2 SATA hard drives, high definition everything, etc etc all that fun stuff, but the graphics card and power supply seem to be very iffy, The graphics card is called a nvidia geforce 9500GS (Ps the driver failed on me once already and I couldnt fix the problem, nor could a computer technician) and the power supply is a crummy 400W generic that sounds like a boeing, but aside from that, anyone know anything about this card, since it doesnt seem to be anywhere on the internet or the nvidia website. All the reviews i have read about this computer have stated as well, that the rest of the machine is excellent but the graphics card and power supply seem to have been "overlooked". Idk, id just like some help and info on whether an upgrade to a nvidia geforce 9800GT or GTX with a new power supply, and any info on what kind of power supply i should get would be really appreciated..

as well as that, I bought a computer monitor (26.5" samsung) its native res is 1920:1200, but it says it can run in 1080p (idk if 1920:1200 is a better quality then 1080?), yet when I try to it distorts the picture and doesnt scale it properly, could this be the graphics card fault?

Card is junk, this day & age, similar to the 9500gt but with less processing power.

Your card is most likely struggling with a 1080i/p picture/video.

Generally with a well built system you want 500+ watt power supply. Their are many good brands out there, alot of the "cheaper" ones arent ‘true’ wattage so be careful.

Whats the best Graphics card I can upgrade this computer with without upgrading the power supply?

I plan on playing World of Warcraft with it, High settings and smooth framerate. Should I upgrade the power supply for a even better graphics card. I expect to play on a small lcd monitor

i cant tell what the power supply is from the specs of the walmart site but i have a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT which can play ANY game i can throw at it. It is a great graphics card, but it depends on the speed of your processor also. Im not sure with AMD CPU’s but i am very familiar to intel ones. Your AMD processor seems up to the requirements though.

would this card

this power supply?

ehhh thats just like the miminum.

i would go with at least a 550 (especially since its not really a quality brand like coolermaster)

but try to get something like coolermaster or Corsair, they make some good psu’s

Hello,
I want this video card:
http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0311192
keep in mind its a pci-e card.

So would this power supply work on it:?

Notice in the specs it says the power supply doesn’t have a pci-e connector?

Does that mean i cant use the video card, or is there a way I dont know? Please help.

Thank you very much

Okay, right off the bat I see a problem with that power supply. Aside from not having a pci-e connection it states it doesn’t work with SLI or Crossfire (i.e. Nvidia or ATI). Since you’re wanting to get a GeForce card, which works with a mobo with an Nvidia chipset, you’d need a more up-to-date power supply.

Second – that card uses 18 amps on the 12-volt rail, and according to the specs on that power supply it runs up to 16 or 17 amps, so the power supply you’re looking at isn’t powerful enough to support the card.

My advice – first make sure your mobo has an Nvidia Chipset. Second, spend a bit more and get a better power supply, and check the voltage – you need at least 18 amps on the 12-volt for that card.
