will my pc support a nvidia geforce 8800 ultra?
Hi i have a hp a6130a and i was wondering will it support the graphics card mentioned above if it does how much do they cost and if it doesn't what would be the best supported graphics card it can take
According to HP's site, the motherboard in your PC (an ECS 945GC) has a PCI-Express x16 slot for expansion. So any PCI-Express x16 card will work. The newer cards will work too, as PCI-Express v2.0 is backwards compatible.
And as for the video card itself, an 8800 Ultra is a great card, but it's like 519$ and is old tech. Newer cards offer similar performance and many outclass it for cheaper.
The best value for money cards right now are the GeForce 9800GTX and the ATI HD 4850. Standard versions of both cost 200$. Choose EVGA for the GeForce and Sapphire for the Radeon.
Make sure you have a Core2Duo before taking the plunge. Your motherboard accepts Pentium D, Celeron D and Pentium 4...and the Core2Duo E4xxx series. Keep in mind that all of those processors, excluding the C2D E4xxx series will bottleneck the video cards I mentioned. As long as you have a C2D E4500/E4600/E4700 or whatever, you're fine.
You're also going to need a quality power supply for a newer graphics card.

A Laptop With Three Gpus Will Come to Market
I have just got to know that Toshiba launches laptop with three GPUs,
On Thursday, NVIDIA and Toshiba jointly announced the first laptop with three, count ‘em, three NVIDIA GPUs. The new models added to the Qosmio X305 line use hybrid SLI to use the integrated NVIDIA 9400M GPU during non-frenetic video use (i.e., not gaming), and switches to the dual NVIDIA 9800M GTS GPUs for ultra-FPS performance.
The combined efforts of both companies resulted in Toshiba's most powerful gaming laptop to date featuring the new highly integrated GeForce® 9400M graphics processing unit (GPU) along with a pair of NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS enthusiast-class GPUs.
That laptop must be very cool for gaming. But how can they deal with the heat?
When Toshiba set out to reset the bar for high performance gaming laptops and revamp its flagship gaming line, the company turned to NVIDIA for its expertise in visual computing. The combined efforts of both companies resulted in Toshiba's most powerful gaming laptop to date featuring the new highly integrated GeForce® 9400M graphics processing unit (GPU) along with a pair of NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS enthusiast-class GPUs. The Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q708 and X305-Q706, the first pair of laptops to incorporate three powerful NVIDIA GPUs, gives users a choice between maximum performance and quiet operation.
“We wanted to deliver an extreme-performance gaming machine that gives gamers a complete, non-compromising system in a laptop form factor,” said Carl Pinto, vice president of product development, digital products division for Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “The combination of the NVIDIA GPUs and chipset allowed us to achieve a high level of performance, quality and flexibility that our customers are asking for, at a competitive starting price of $1,999.”
