WHAT VIDEO CARD - IBM ThinkCentre S50 8183 - P4 3 GHz (8183D9U) PC Desktop

Video cards are normally built-in on the laptop motherboard and you cannot replace them or add a new one because there is not an expansion slot to add a video card.

6 Locate the AGP video slot. If there is a video card in it, remove the video card.

BMW ACCESSORIES.

The video card sends video data to the monitor. If the monitor does not display any images then the video card could be faulty.
It could also mean the monitor is faulty.
To check whether the video card or monitor is faulty, connect another monitor to your computer, if this monitor also does not displays any image then the video card is faulty.

Please check before buying video card. Because your video card maybe AGP card. AGP card is coming old model system.

"video card is not 'compatible' with the video card"

Can you clarify what you mean here? Since the video card fits into the motherboard, not another video card.

Hi there,

Yes it is possible to still plug-in an expansion video card. The 256MB limit is for the shared memory if you will be using your integrated Video Card. You can ignore it once you plug in the new video card.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Question #1. Yes, all laptops has a video card. A laptop will not boot up without a video card.
Question #2. No, your laptop already has a video card.

For some information.
In a laptop, you either have 1 or 2 video cards installed in it. One is the video card that is already bundled with the motherboard (we call it integrated) and the other one is another video card that is attached to the motherboard (we call it dedicated). A dedicated video card is bundled to a laptop for purposes of use, mainly for graphics related businesses (like drawing, animation, gaming etc.).

Hope this helps.

Device Manager is showing correct.
Try connecting the display cable to the Video card and restart the computer.
If that doesn't work, check which display adapter is selected in BIOS.
If it is selected as the Video card, then u need to check whether the new video card is good.

that is untrue, who told you they are all the same.

than go on line and type in any video card drivers

when i type in any video card drive i get 8.1 million

when i type windows video card drivers i get 2.5 milloin

when i type in trident video cards i get 62 thousand.

an known video card manufacture.
the concept maybe the same but the technology and the coding for games, graphics are totally different, not all oranges are the same, or all apples teasted the same

i get the meaning im just having some fun

The 9600 video card, I am fairly sure, has a connection on the card itself for power. Have you maybe fogotten to connect the power supply to the video card? If not , try reseating the video card.  A third possibality.. Some MB, if they have on board video, require you to turn off the "on board video" in order for it to use (see) the New PCI video card. Hope this helps.
