PCI Port Extenders

[Darren]

I didn't misquote you, I cut, pasted, and heavily edited what you wrote in an unrelated thread to suit my position in this one...

K. Further irrelevant BS in this thread will be deleted. Tired of you derailing threads for the sake of a laugh.

Edit: I believe that was a notebook geared Apu that is bga soldered on, so you can't really upgrade anything without replacing everything.

 

[SteampunkFiend]

Damn. the shit storm was real...

 

[SteampunkFiend]

@Darren You mentioned USD. Could you explain that? You might have noticed I am uneducated in this field.

United States Dollars

Well I'm a fecking idiot.

Chance to partially redeem yourself by telling us your not American.....

 

[SteampunkFiend]

I hardly ever redeem myself. I'll take the fall because I am a definite American. Just don't use the abreviation USD very commonly.

For what its worth, it's not like we use CAD here commonly.. just helps on a forum so we know what parts and such to recommend people in their home currency.

I had my suspicions.

 

[SteampunkFiend]

Not to mention I hardly ever visit a forum page.

I didn't see this posted earlier, but even if you had a PCI slot, no PCI video card would make for usable gaming by any standards in the last decade. PCI video cards became near obsolete in the late 90's.

This is a very relevant point it seems the rest of us have missed.

 

[SteampunkFiend]

. . . Well f***. Do you know what I would need then?

A new computer. You're outright wasting money trying to revitalize this. Any remotely decent video card needs a PCI-E slot.

 

[Laquer Head]

I had my suspicions.

You've been suspicious all week, busting peoples asses

. . . Well f***. Do you know what I would need then?

You need a new computer, no real way around it. You can't do things to a machine that doesn't have the capability.

 

[SteampunkFiend]

True.... true.... So true....

 

[SteampunkFiend]

I have a perfectly good hard drive and disc drive, do you think I could use those if I was to make a new computer?

 

[SteampunkFiend]

So I just took a look at my processor.... It looks like the whole top of the processor came up with the heat sink.
