Installing a graphics card?

Solved

Bonjour Till,

La carte graphique Twintech GeForce 7100 GS de 256 Mo est compatible avec votre Packard Bell iStart F9620. Cependant, il est conseillé de remplacer l'ancienne carte (nVidia GeForce 7500 LE) par la nouvelle. En général, ajouter une carte graphique supplémentaire pourrait ne pas fonctionner correctement à moins que votre configuration et votre alimentation ne soient adaptées pour cela. De plus, la GeForce 7100 GS offrira probablement de meilleures performances par rapport à la 7500 LE.

Merci et bonne chance avec votre mise à niveau !

Hello

Yes, the graphics card you have is better than the one installed on your PC. To determine if it is compatible, we also need to know if this card is AGP or PCI Express and what type of card can be mounted on the motherboard. For that, install EVEREST to know all the components of your PC and repost here.

Apparently, yes, it is PCIe 16x: http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?i=spec_PT890T-PM
Just double-check with a utility like Everest that your motherboard is indeed the ECS PT890T-PM, and if so, it should work fine...

Here’s what the connector looks like where you will need to insert your graphics card:

Everest doesn't seem to be able/willing to indicate it to me, but it seems that it is indeed a PT890T-PM...

Thank you both, but do I have the option to keep both the old and the new one?

Heu, the 7500 is a PCI. So physically you will be able to put both. On the software side, it's another story, I have no idea how it works with two graphics cards.
