ECS Livermore 945 GCT-HM Picking Video Card..

  • 0

I have the hp6019h. The motherboard is the ECS Livermore 945GCT-HM. The power supply is 250 watts. The cpu is the original. The only thing I’ve added is RAM. It’s 2 GB. Now, 2 part question. Knowing that my board has PCI express x16 v. 1, could somebody recommend a GPU for HD Gaming that isn’t more than my system needs? I know that PCIX 2, is backwards compatible but it seems buying one like that would be an overkill. The second question is, even though my MOBO says 2 GB is the maximum RAM that I can run, can I go up to 4 GB’s? Was 2 GB an operating system limitation and now that I run windows 7, can I go up to 4 GB?

    1. A power supply is based on it’s size basically. If you have a mini tower you will need a smaller psu. If it’s a standard size case, you would look for an ATX power supply. They’re all internal. The new psu’s have all the connections on you need to power the card. For what you need, I might suggest the Radeon 4650 which draws it’s power from the pci-e slot without the need for a separate cable. If you’re going to upgrade the psu, look at power supplies that have a single 12 volt rail like the Corsair line. I’ll include some links, so you can get an idea.
