| 845073 | 2010-01-07 20:32:00 | I have one more question (sorry), since I haven't opened up my tower yet I would like to know what would happen if I remove my express chipset cards to replace them with the new graphics card. Apparently the Q43 (www.intel.com)/Q45 (www.intel.com) express chipsets come loaded with support for audio, memory, video, and various other processes. If I remove these with solely a graphics card, won't all the other forms of support be gone? In other words, won't I end up with no audio and whatnot? Wow I just considered this, sorry if it's a ridiculous question, but if someone can clarify it for me I would greatly appreciate it. And in simple terms, as I'm not a highly advanced computer user. Thats your mother board, you take that out and you won't have much of anything, or too plug your new gpu into |

| 845074 | 2010-01-07 20:41:00 | Just disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS when you fit the new card. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 845075 | 2010-01-07 21:20:00 | If one has to save money, depends how much you into your games? For many I suspect that games are only relaxation activity, that I would prefer a larger screen and a cheaper video card if you have to make that tradeoff. At least while you are doing all your other stuff you have this nice screen. Yep I focus on the GPU and not on the RAM. I have a 4830 and that's ok for the one game demo I played with... These days I might get a 4850 or the like. |

| 845076 | 2010-01-07 21:24:00 | If you don't know the difference between the motherboard chipset and a video card, you should probably get someone who knows what they are doing to install the new graphics card for you, but get them to show you and explain. That way you will learn something but not risk breaking anything. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 845077 | 2010-01-07 21:46:00 | i could get someone to help me with it..... but I know I'm not going to be spending money on it. Probably a friend... I just wanted to make sure that taking out the express chipsets for a sole graphics card wouldn't **** anything else up. SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYY:annoyed: |

SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYY:annoyed: Its all soldered on i don't think you can take it up without ****ing up the card edit: oops do you mean the motherboard chipset? idk |

| 845080 | 2010-01-07 22:10:00 | When you get the new card you will need to possibly go into the BIOS and disable the on board graphic. This will not affect sound etc. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 845081 | 2010-01-07 22:10:00 | You don't need to remove it, and you can't as it is built into the motherboard. Just disable it in the bios as Sweep mentioned earlier. |
