Hi

I have an amd graphics card and a Intel machine I don't have any
problems with it. I don't use all the bells and whistles just the normal
stuff so I don't know for sure about all that. But the graphics card
itself works just fine for me. I don't game but do use it extensively
for graphic and video editing.

Maybe someone here can help with the bells and whistles.

Hope the card works out!

Subject: [PCBUILD] Graphics card compatibility


 Greetings all,

  I just ordered a new pci-e graphics card in hopes of upgrading from
1gig DDR3 to 2gig of DDR3 and also to gain a VGA out which my present
card lacks. However, I just realized in the specs for the new card, it
shows an AMD chipset support as well as other AMD features such as "AMD
HD3D technology, AMD Power Play technology and AMD App Acceleration".

 The mobo I plan to use it with is an ASUS with an Intel Core Duo Quad.
Am I making a mistake combining these? Will the listed AMD features be
useless on an Intel machine?

 I feel it ought to work but I've not mixed Intel/AMD before and want to
find out before I install it. And, if it will work properly, should I
remove the previous graphics drivers before installing?

Here's what I've got:

Asus P5G41T-M LX Plus mobo
Intel Core Duo Quad processor (Q9550 @2.83GHz)
NVidia GeForce GT 520 pci-e
700 watt PS
(2) 4gig sticks ram
running XP pro 32 bit on one drive and Win7 Pro 64 bit on separate ssd.

The card I ordered is a XFX Radeon HD 6450 HD-645X-CLH2 pci-e

Thanks,
-Phil-
