How can I find out what video cards my computer supports?

If you have your motherboard manual you can look in there. Chances are you don't so you will need to identify the name and model of your motherboard. You can:





1. when the computer is booting it will sometimes list it pretty much on the first screen of your boot - unless you have a splash screen then you won't see it at all





2. if you don't have a splash screen you can write down the bios string numbers and search the internet to identify the motherboard - the bios string is the last numbers on the first splash screen and looks something like 0001-2002-38974-8vK-01





you can go here to identify the bios string number and this site will also tell you what the numbers mean, etc.

Once you have identified the make and model of your motherboard then you can search the net for the motherboard manual which will tell you the maximum capacity/type of video card you can use.





If you have a splash screen you can enter your bios and disable the splash screen so you can see the first screen in the boot.





Good luck
