Can you use a sound card and video card from a dell computer in another?

Dell computer motherboard no longer works but as far as I know the sound and video card are still good so I was wondering if they could be used in the computer im building (I have no driver disc for them).|||Assuming they fit in PCI slots, you can certainly try. If Dell was using some proprietary technology, you may have a hard time finding drivers.



Computer Repairman|||You should be able to either find the driver or use the generic windows drivers. As long as the new motherboard as the slots, its fine to reuse them.|||depending on how old those parts are it may not be worth using in a new system, newer boards dont use AGP and most have as good or better sound cards built in...

so it might just be better buy new integrated all in one setup rather then adding old crappy parts|||YES!! You Can !|||You can go here and find the right sound and video drivers manually :

There is a program I use which will find drivers for just about all hardware devices. The best part is it takes a snapshot of your system specifications and matches the right driver to go with it.
