i moved my pc downstairs so it can run cooler, but I dont have a wifi card, I found out that I can "share wifi" over ethernet, but this gives me the error, "Connect, no internet" please I spent all of my money on pc parts and I cant afford a new wifi card yet.

thanks im just really paranoid lol.

i know but is minecraft slow because of my old gpu?

So I have this old Dell Dimension E520, and I ordered parts for it, the gpu hasn't come yet (GT 1030) but the Core 2 Quad Q6600 came and 8 gb of ram came, the game ran worse than when it was on Windows XP (im now running windows 7 ultimate) and when I opened HWMonitor it said I was using 99% gpu, but the cpu only like 30% is it possible that im being bottlenecked by the graphics card? (Nvidia Geforce 7300 LE)

sorry for not following up, but I fixed it by plugging the headphones into the back of the computer.

Yes, i've already tested the headphones with another device. So I have this pc, and I have connected the headphones to it, its picking up noise from my mic and it says that my headphones should be hearing sound, but I don't. Is there a fix? I am running Windows 7 Ultimate

So I dropped an old pc and the graphics card popped out. The main operating system (Ubuntu 32 Bit) looks fine, but I launched Minecraft, which before was getting 60 fps on Windows XP, is now getting 10 and there is really weird screen graphical glitches. I can't show any pictures right now, but I just want to know if it would be a problem with the slot or the graphics card (a really old Geforce 7300 LE) I have not installed any drivers.

so i looked at the thing, theres more than one slot the current graphics card cant fit into the other ones, so if I were to hook it on there with a pcie riser, could I get it to fit?

i just need to know if the case is only single slot

So I don't plan on doing intense gaming and I was wondering if the Gigabyte RX 550 will fit in my pc. The card looks like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=gigabyte+rx+550&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS910US910&sxsrf=ALeKk038D4rePoPihfYUpZNbbdP6w3nf1g:1597080327683&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjOxe_sk5HrAhXUPH0KHb9yChYQ_AUoAnoECA0QBA&biw=1366&bih=657#imgrc=wfDuZBKriYW1uM My motherboard, case, and current graphics card looks like this:

Im looking at an RX 550, the backplate has a fan, and its taller than the old graphics card, will this be fine?

okay, i was only planning on Minecraft, Portal 2 (and og portal), maybe some LoL and Dota 2, tf2, and rocket league, achievable with my current plan?

so would going through with this end up with really slow performance? even though I am adding a decent card and core 2 quad with 8 gb of ram? I only need it for 2 years

would an RX 460 work in this situation? I would be using a Core 2 Quad Q6600.

so do I need a pcie riser?

no clue what that is, can you elaborate? is it expensive?

So the current graphics card in this really old 2006 pc (Im planning on upgrading it to 8gb of ram, quad core cpu, and better graphics card) is a Geforce 7300 LE which is so bad and very unusable. I want to upgrade it but im not sure if it is able to support bigger (high profile) graphics card, as the one currently in there is a Low Profile. I took some pictures of the inside and place to plug in the vga. sorry if it looks bent, the case is bent.

So I have this old Dell Dimension, and I want it to boot to windows xp, but after it say Setup Starting, it just blue screens. I looked it up and the guy changed AHCI to IDE, and I have no clue how to do this, its a dell dimension e520. I checked the bios and found nothing. Anyone have a solution?

thank you, also, i only need this for 1 year until I can get a job, and a much better computer, thanks!

gpu isnt the question, I want to know if I would need to upgrade the psu

I have an old Dell Dimension E520 and the upgrade options are looking good to play esports games, and valve games. So I want to upgrade to like a HD 7770 (because im on a tight budget) and my state doesn't allow me to get a job for another year. So my current budget is about 100 dollars, and I have this old dell dimension. Its able to be upgraded with any gpu, a core 2 quad, 8 gb of ram, but im not sure if this can run on my current psu. Also, if I am able to keep the psu, i will probably go for a GT 1030 instead. I don't know how much wattage it is, but heres a picture of the sticker on it.

Thanks, I thought by now that system was at the end of its life, and all the components seem to be in my price range so yeah.

Well I figured it wouldn't matter, but how would it be a money waste, also, its an e520, really old but will support a core 2

So I have this old Dell Dimension, and it can support 8 gb of ram once I put in a core 2 duo. now, if I were to put in a fair graphics card (gt 1030) would I be able to play esports games (rocket league, lol, etc) and valve games (Portal 2, GMod, tf2) at 60 fps maybe 1080p? Or would I just be wasting money.

thank you
