I have fixed 2 computer which are 500MHZ with 128MB Ram and other one is 1.8GHZ with 256MB Ram( the CPU been fixed and it just need graphics cards that I needs to buy really ;) )
what is highest Graphics cards that I can used for 1.8GHZ computer without Frying or choking my motherboard up?
cheers

well...I've got 2GigHz and ati x1600 PRO in it, so I think almost anything that is AGP will do you.
-
AS long as you've got AGP and a good PSU, you can do a pretty good graphics card.

My power supply called MODEL:LC A300 ATX
I think my power supply is about 300 WATTS.
cheers :cheers:

I have 2 PSU's, becose I'm lee7

Best way of checking really, is to take a look at the system requirements on the boxes of Graphics cards. Or if in doubt go with a mate and ask at a reputable PC store. Thats the only advice I could really give.

Just keep plugging things in until something melts, then replace that something [1]. I'm an idiot. I've got a mini-tower with a 380W PSU in it, 4 massive hard disks and a Radeon X1600 AGP. There's so many dangling drives and power splitter cables in there I can barely close the case for all the cabling :)
I think it's time for Core2 and Vista upgrade :D

[1] Actually, please DON'T do this!

One of my PC's had no sides, and the motherboard wasn't attached to the tower at all, it was just help semi upright by all of the connecting cables. :)
My new PC is much less dusty.

The PC I learned to program on ages ago was soo slow, it felt like you was using a dailup connection to look at stuff on the hard drive.... I'm surpized I ever got FreeBasic or anything to work on it....
I can tell you, this new PC scared the shit out of me when I got it running.. :o .. Like going from a Mini to a Lambo..

There are quite a few fire hazards browsing this board by the look of it :)
I can't talk though, the last PC I had before this had more bunf than an entire branch of Tandy's stuffed into it and the amazing thing was that it worked without blowing up.
Though it did get quite hot so I had to leave the sides off the case.

For comps, I highly recommend Dell www.dell.co.uk

They make top quality PCs Clyde, there's no doubt about that, and they have a good warranty which is especially important for notebooks, but in my experience they're not always at the cutting/bleeding edge of technology and they're almost never the best value for money. A great place to go to find out what you should be paying though :D We use Dell workstations exclusively at our place.
