Is there a way to run a PCI-E video card externally to a laptop?

I have a 9800 GTX card that's laying here since I just upgraded to two 580GTX's running in SLI, I was just wondering if the 9800 could somehow be used externally and hooked up to my laptop. I know USB2 Won't handle this, once USB3 comes out will it be a possibility?|||no|||If you have an ExpressCard or mini-PCI-E, there's this:

So, no.

Where can I find the latest video card driver for my laptop and also an audio device that works?

Toshiba Satellite 5105-S901 laptop

Intel Pentium 4 Processor

NVIDIA GeForce4 440



I updated with Service Pack 2 which installed the YAMAHA AC-XG audio device. Although, now I have no sound and I don't think that this audio device is compatible with my laptop. Also, another program I have will not load because I need a different video driver. Anyone know where can I get this? Thanks!!!|||toshiba website will be your best bet use the following link this will take you to their support site http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/…

How can I overclock my intel cpu and Nvidia 8800m gts video card?

I'm going to get Crysis soon. My laptop has over the minimum requirements for the game, but my cpu and video card are just under the recommended requirements.

Does anyone know how I can overclock my cpu and video card in order to reach the requirements, or get them closer to them?

Is there any risk involved to my computer's components involved?

Thanks.

My cpu is an intel duo T5750(2.0ghz).

My Video card is Nvidia 8800m Gts.

I have 3gb of ram.

My computer is windows vista, and i'm running it as super-admin(if it matters).|||Yes, with a laptop you are putting your components at high risk if you overclock.



With a desktop computer, you will generally have better airflow and CPU cooling which will allow your parts to remain cool and safe.



However by overclocking a laptop, you are generating excess amounts of heat which will greatly stress your CPU - laptop CPU coolers are not meant to cool overclocked parts.



My suggestion is to stand clear of overclocking laptops. In fact, many laptop makers will even go so far as to lock the bios to prevent you from doing so. If your laptop is from a major manufacturer such as Dell, Gateway, HP, Compaq, or Acer, you likely don't even have a choice in this matter.|||download riva turner....

How do I update my Video Card drivers when windows won't load?

I have had a problem with my computer being unstable. I sent my video card in to get fixed. Not to long after I got it back my computer suddenly craped out. It would have artifacts all over the screen during startup and the screen would turn off before windows started. Fans and lights were still running, but my screen would turn off. I sent the video card in again and recently got it back. Just as before the same thing has happened. Someone suggested that it could be the drivers so how do I update drivers when I cant even get to windows|||Try going into safe mode. Press F8 repeatedly when you start the computer. Choose Safe mode with networking (or get the drivers from someone else's computer). Update the drivers by going to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Display Adapters > double-click your video card > driver > update driver.|||Go on another computer and download the drivers onto a floppy disk and insert that into the computer and enter the BIOS screen. From there you should be able to load the drivers. However, the easier way of doing it would be to install the video card in another machine and if that one works then you know it isnt the video card that is causing you problems.|||switch from windows to ubuntu linux,, its free and will detect and download the drivers for you.



At least you will be able to use your pc and once you used it, you will never want to go back to redmond's monster|||yes try going into safe mode by pressing f8 during bootup and have a disk with the drivers ready

Will a geforce video card support a del computer and the sims 3?

i have a del computer and i heard about the sims,so i bought the sims 3 with my credit card online and when i loaded it on it said that the video card could not support the sims 3.i don't want to buy a video card that can support the sims 3,but will not support a del copmputer.|||Which Dell do you have? Look on the Dell website and see which models they sell. I've used Dells in the past and some of them modified motherboards or internal fixtures that mean that there isn't enough room to fit a powerful card. Most annoyingly they often put the most powerful PCI-E slot right at the top so you can't put a double hight card in, or they sometimes put in an extra large heat sink so you can't fit a full length card in.



Without knowing the model of Dell there isn't much more that I can tell you.|||video cards are all the same. They usually make their own or get them from Nvidia or Geforce. So as long as you have a fast enough processor, enough ram, and a big enough hard drive then go ahead and get a new video card.

Do you have to use the recommended power supply for a video card?

I just got a ati 2900 xt card and it says it needs a power supply of 550. My current power supply is only 500. Thanks in advance.|||You could use a lower watt...but your performance is going to show the lack of power. I would go with AT LEAST the recommended power if not +50w|||If you have too many things drawing too much power (additional hard drives, optical drives, etc) from a power supply that cannot provide enough, your system may become unstable and crash randomly.

What is a video card driver? and can i get one for free?

I downloaded this game everyone says is cool called secondlife. I was so excited too play it, but it wont let me because it says that my video card driver needs to be updated. I've tried updating it, and it wont let me. Could I get one for free? please heelp!!!|||You should post specifics about what your computer's make and model is.



If you have Nvidia, download the drivers here:

If you have ATI, download the drivers here:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pa…



If you have Intel integrated graphics, get the driver here:

http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/de…|||Drivers are usually free from the manufacturer. And sometimes, you might even find them for free on other websites. You will need to know what type of adapter that you have and just do a search for it. Be as specific as you can to ensure you get the correct one.



However, the game could be letting you know that your video card is not powerful enough also. You might not meet the minimum requirements for that specific game.





Hope this helps!|||yes easy what the exact name of your computer Email me djwja87@hotmail.com|||First thing you need to do is find out who makes the card. Nvidia, Ati, Intel. Then you need to go to their website and only their website. go to their support page and find the download drivers. find your specific card as it matters a lot. download then install them and your golden. A video card driver is what makes the computer recognize the video card and utilize the hardware as it is meant to.|||guys and ladies she not giving much info if we kn
