Hi, I'm going to upgrade my Gateway GT5622 from onboard graphics to a EVGA 610 card: BIOS > Adv. chipset > Initiate Graphics Adapter - I have the following choices: 1. IGD 2. PCI?IGD 3. PCI/PEG 4. PEG/IGD 5. PEG/PCI 6. PCI Which should I choose, I would guess 3, 5, or 6? Also at the BIOS: Internal graphics mode select which has options Enabled 8 MB or Enabled 1 MB By choosing the correct above (3,5, or 6), the internal graphics mode, will it allow DISABLED, or not be a factor as the pcie 2 card is installed? At System > Device Manager > Display Adapter: has. Intel 82945G Express chipset family Should I right click this & choose disable? Thanks Rico also installing 480 W PSU
PEG is PCI Express Graphics. So if your new card is in a PCI-E slot I'd try 5 first. Once the card is in and you boot into Windows just check the device manager and make sure the onboard video isn't showing up still. There's not a lot that can go wrong these days compared to putting a card in a 90s system. Also be sure you grab the latest drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us 337.50 beta or 335.23 WHQL. edit Also because the 610 is a low power card (probably barely chewing up more than 30/40 watts at full load) and draws all its power from the PCI-E slot, you don't have to use a PSU with a ton of 12v AMPs. Nonetheless a good quality PSU is always good.
