My computer has a NVIDIA GeForce 6150se nforce 430 video card in it but I'm trying to replace it?

What video card would be compatible with my computer if this was the video card already in it? I'm looking for something with dual VGA output.|||Your computer has a PCIe x16 slot for a new graphics card. The "card" that you have now is actually built into the motherboard. That gives you a huge range of options. With the motherboard's chipset being nVidia, you should probably stick with that type of card. Depending on your budget, you can get just about anything you want for it. The rest of the computer isn't bad, so it will take a pretty decent card before you start to get into overkill. Here is the range that I would look into:



Low end (still much better than your built-on and has two video outs like you want):

(I have a similar ASUS 8400gs in my computer and it runs 2 19" CRTs in 1200x1600 with no problem and runs games like The Sims 3 without lag)



High end:

Ok, a couple of points to clarify for you here:



The graphics "card" you have already is built into the motherboard, you don't have to worry about removing it or replacing it as such.



Secondly, the kind of graphics card your mother board will support is only limited by what kind of AGP or PCI-Express slot(s) it has.



Now, you could on an nForce 4 with a PCI-Express x16 slot (the fastest current slot-type) install the best graphics card around ... BUT ... you have to consider the other components in your computer as it could be very wasteful to pair a super fast graphics card with a slow cpu/ram ...



Could you post the rest of your system specifications?|||Is it built into the motherboard or is it a card?



Either way, you need to find out what kind of slots you have on your motherboard so you can get the right card to plug into it.

When you open up your case look at the slots and compare them to this: http://www.naplestech.com/shopcart/bus_s…



I would recommend upgrading and not just replacing. You would be surprised how much faster your computer will run with a faster GPU (graphics processing unit)



I personally like NVIDIA over ATI.

Any card 8800 from NVIDIA or HD 2900 for ATI and hirgher is better than what you are running now|||Any video card really. But mostly it depends on your PCI slots. For example If I had an 8400GS GeForce it would be suitable for PCI express slot 1.0 and if I had a 3 series card (the new ones) it would fit in PCI express slot 2.0+.



So look for slot 1.0. Try looking for cheap sparkle 8 series at www.newegg.com those ones are cheap and durable.|||This will be impossible to answer without knowing whether or not the card is AGP or PCI Express. Do you have any other details about your system you can provide? Motherboard model? If it's a store-bought computer, computer model?|||http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…|||soz
