Graphics Card For Dell Dimension 4700

What is the best graphics card for a dell dimension 4700?

Answer:-
Here are the full specifications of your computer. http://reviews. Cnet.com/desktops/dell-dimension-4700-desktop/1707-3118_7-30981395.html

So you have one pci-ex16 slot. Don't worry about the version as all pci-ex16 2. 0 cards are backward compatible with pci-ex16 1. 0 and 1, 1. The only problem is 300 watts of power supply which limits your selection. For this power supply, the best cards you can insert are radeon hd 4670 and radeon hd 5570. This cards are pretty good to play games on your 1280x1024 monitor resolution. http://bit. Ly/cu6mrz

Hd 5570 even have low power consumption than hd 4670 along with same performance but cost little more. Still your psu can handle hd 4670. http://bit. Ly/bdidtz

Hd 4670 is a good option for your current system and monitor resolution.

Dell Dimension 4700 Usb Ports

I have a dell dimension 4700. When i hook up my flash drive or one of my card readers it won't recognize it in xp or ubuntu it see's every thing else. The flash drive and the card reader works fine on my other computer. I've tried every port. It used to work on the front. Now front nor back will let me use my flash drive. Is there something wrong with my usb ports?

Logitech Z-5500 And Creative Sb X-fi Sound Card

Well i have the logitech z-5500 as i want to scare the neighbors! The only problem is that it only comes with a direct style connection (not sure of the exact terminology) and my brand spanking new creative sound blaster x-fi sound card has a digital in/out on it. (It has an optical option)

Now when i used the direct color coded cables that came with the speakers, i can get a 6 channel direct sound mode that is not all the bad. However, i was the best i can get with my setup. I have an optical cable, but when i connect the optical cable into the speaker system and my pc, nothing happens and it does not recognize a digital connection. What am i doing wrong? Does anyone else have a logitech z-5500 that is hooked up with a digital connection? I am so frustrated and confused with technology right now it is ridiculous!

Creative X-fi Usb Sound Card Windows 7

I've had this for about a year now and its worked great. I bought it originally as a way to pass through optical from my computer to my receiver. Now my previous setup is long gone and i still use this external card with my krk rp 5 g2's. Its worked great but i never once installed the creative software. Today i was browsing creative website and i noticed an updated driver for windows 7 for this device updated sep 2nd. I decided to give it a shot and download it. First thing i noticed was the crystallizer and cmss 3d. Both add some "flavor" to the music which i actually enjoy. Second thing i noticed was hey! I can use the knob on my sound-card after a year of having it to control the sound but alas, theres now one huge annoying issue. Snap, crackle, and pop! Every so often at random during music playback (windows media player, pandora one, etc) i would hear this. Is there any available fix or unofficial drivers to alleviate this? I want to be able to use this damn knob. But not at the cost of annoying cracking.

Auzentech Card With Creative Drivers Problem

So i used to have a creative x-fi xtreme gamer fatility pro sound card. On xp, the cmss-3d stereo xpand worked fine. It vista and windows 7, any voices/vocals get basically muted. I bought an auzentech card this time to see if it was any better, but their drivers are all the same as creative. The stereo xpand feature still doesn't work. I have to use stereo surround which i don't consider nearly as good. Does anyone else have this problem?

Using Creative I/o Panels With X-fi Xtrememusic Sound Card

Can someone tell me if the i/o panel from an audigy 2zs platinum will work with an x-fi extreme music sound card the two units look very similar but there is a world of difference in the price. I require the i/o panel to get front audio port connectivity for my centurion 532 case. This would be ideal if it were possible and a lot less mess than re-wiring sockets etc. Also would there be any conflicts software driver wise if they were compatible. I have the installation cd for the x-fi extreme music but no drivers for the x-fi platinum are these available from creative site? The i/o drive would not be required to have any other function other than the front audio port connection facility. If other options were available with this set-up it would be classed as a bonus.

Best Creative Driver Cleaner

I am upgrading from an audigy 2zs to a auzentech forte in the next couple of days. I run vista ultimate x64 and xp sp3 dual-boot. Xp has all of the creative stuff installed, vista just has the latest creative-released driver (6. 0. 1. 1370) and nothing but alchemy and creative audio console. What is the best, current software to to scrub all of this stuff up after a regular uninstall and before a forte install? I have driversweeper 1. 5. 5 and driversweeper b2 (guru3d)

If there's any other transition tips, please speak up.

Alternative Creative Drivers

Ok, now first off. Yes i have an x-fi. And yeah i know there are so many superior choices, but work with me here. Suffice it to say, creative drivers suck more than my dyson. I get occasional fuzz, my speaker config keeps going mia (randomly puts me in 2. 1 mode), and heaven help me if i change my default recording input (using a plat drive). It takes about a half an hour to get my mic back on for gaming. Googling shows a few out there, but does anyone here have any experience with some they'd recommend?

On a side note, i'm completely done with creative when i pitch this card. Their driver fail has been going on since the sb live's were popular for pete's sake. *Edit* win7 ult x64 btw

Creative Front Bay Not Working

I can't get my front bay for my audigy 2 zs working. I'm running windows 7 64 bit. Below is what it shows in the options. If someone can direct me to a link to install a driver or something for the front bay, i'm all ears! It worked fine in xp. I think this is a vista problem too. It has power (red optical is lit). Just no sound. Options greyed out

Creative Issues With Multi Monitors

Pretty much from day one with the new tv i've had issues with loud static, and random (left to right channel) popping sounds coming from the speakers and headphones, so it has to be coming from the sound card. It only seems to happen when i have the tv on as a second monitor. I first noticed it while trying to watch a movie in windows media player on the tv, then it started being prevalent while playing call of duty 4 on the 20" monitor with the tv on with my xfire, ventrilo, and firefox open. It seems like the extra duty the gpu is putting out interferes with the sound card or something. I've tried moving them both to a different slot but it didn't make any difference. Does anyone know of anything else that could be causing this? Maybe a power issue? I've got a 650 watt psu (seasonic s12). I'm thinking i might just have to throw in the towel and junk my $130 sound card. Ugh. P. S. I've also got an issue to where if i leave it in one audio mode (entertainment or game) for more than a couple hours the sound goes completely to s*** and i'm forced to switch modes and go back, forcing me to close any and all sound producing applications (itunes, wmp, firefox) otherwise they freeze. For example i like to play a playlist in itunes as i go to sleep, but when i wake up and try to play something its completely garbled and staticky (loud too). So here is my setup: creative x-fi titanium pro, logitech z-2300 speakers, turtle beach 5. 1 headset (splitters between them to output audio to both), xfx gtx 285, dfi lanparty p45-t2rs mobo, samsung 206bw monitor, and here's the new addition: samsung 640 series 32" lcd television connected via dvi-to-hdmi cable. I have the audio out from the tv also spliced into the feed for the speakers.

Creative X-fi Series And Hardware Acceleration

I have a creative x-fi model (cheap one) that i'm told does not do any hardware acceleration ("extreme audio" i think), also have the asus rog iii motherboard that came with a small pci-e sound card that i'm told also doesn't do any hardware processing. I was left wondering, what's the cheapest creative x-fi sound card that does hardware acceleration, taking the sound processing away from the duties of the cpu ? There are so many models i can' tell one from another any more. I'm not that fussy, i just want a decent sound-card that handles hardware acceleration.

Creative X-fi Elite Pro Driver Problems

I've got windows xp sp3, not vista, yet the creative x-fi elite pro driver just crashes my system. I can only install the driver in safe mode (else my computer shuts off after a blue screen), when i restart and boot in normal mode, windows freezes at it's loading screen. If i disable the hardware, everything works fine. If i enable it through windows, windows freezes when attempting to enable the hardware. Instead of a freeze, i sometimes get the bsod with the error of stop 0x0000007e. I've tried:

- Different pci port
- Driver on cd (for windows xp)
- Driver from creative's website, also for xp
- Reinstalling it a couple hundred times
- Windows install the driver instead of creative software
- Disabled onboard audio codec & uninstalled realtek audio codecs
- Every possible google result

I've tried everything i could think of - any other ideas?

I'm left with hating creative and thinking it might even be the hardware. Anyone have any similar problems?

Creative Xi-fi Drivers From Website Not Digitally Signed ?

I'm trying to track the cause of a recent slowdown in my vista shut down time, and i noticed that dxdiag reports that my creative xi-fi drivers are not digitally signed. I have been using the latest xi-fi drivers for vista 64 from creative's drive page. (Driver ver. 2. 18. 0008). The card is a xi-fi xtremegamer. I just did a clean reinstall of these drivers to make sure, and dxdiag still reports that they are unsigned. Does anyone else have this problem? The drivers are release drivers and are not beta, trying to figure out what else may be causing this. My os is vista x64, here are the details from dxdiag:

Dxdiag notes
-
Display tab 1: no problems found. Display tab 2: no problems found. Sound tab 1: the file ctaud2k.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by microsoft's windows hardware quality labs (whql). You may be able to get a whql logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer. Sound tab 2: the file ctaud2k.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by microsoft's windows hardware quality labs (whql). You may be able to get a whql logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer. Sound tab 3: no problems found. Input tab: no problems found.

Creative Ddl/dts Encoder Pack

I picked it up to play with it for my new receiver. It works, it encodes the audio and sends it to the receiver. But it distorts sound sometimes. It isn't a case of the speakers or amp distorting or anything, i can switch over to analogue inputs and have no problems. It is the encoder.

Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Static Problem

I have a creative inspire p5800 5. 1 speaker system (have had it for about 2 years) but it has constant static if the wired remote control cable is plugged in. If the wired remote control cable isn't plugged in there is no static, but consequently, no sound either, i.e. The speakers don't work without it. At all other times the static is there. Even if the pc is turned off and only the speakers have power, it's there. No single speaker is causing it because even if i pull them all off and stick stereo headphones in the wired remote, i can hear the static. I've also pulled off the speaker cables from my creative audigy 2 sound card, but it does nothing to the static. Any ideas?

Creative Emu10k1 Audio Processor Does Not Have Free Resource

I have an old sound blaster live! 5. 1 back from when i built my first pc. I haven't used it in years as motherboard audio has always been alright by my standards. Now, however, i've gone and purchased a 5. 1 speaker set, and to get the proper 5. 1 sound out them, i need a 5. 1 capable card. Such as the sound blaster. So, i went ahead and installed it, and disabled the onboard audio - yet i have no drivers for it. The thing is, i bought this before xp came out, and the driver cd, even if i still had it, would be useless. The creative site is terrible, it gives only updates or patches for driver sets people already have. I did download one big driver from them but it said it couldn't find any sound blaster card in my computer! I did download one set from somewhere that did identify the card and set it up correctly, but the "creative emu10k1 audio processor" doesn't have "any free resources" to run. It tells me to uninstall some other audio device before it'll run properly. But what can i install? The motherboard audio has been disabled in the bios and i'm running on a freshly formatted xp installation. I either need new drivers, or a solution to sort this out.

Creative Soundblaster Pci 128 Not Supported Under Winxp ?

I recently bought a creative soundblaster pci 128 for my secondary pc, found it at a very low price and i bought that instead of one of those cheap unbranded soundcards that are available every where these days; hoping that it would have better support and sound quality. But i was wrong !. The card is detected by windows xp and it installs drivers automatically but only one audio out (2. 1) works i even tried installing the drivers from the creative site, cant get the rear speaker out working no matter what i do. And there is no tone control (bass treble control). Any ideas ?. I searched around in the net and seems that some other ppl are also having similar problems with this card under xp / 2000.

Creative P7800 7.1 Speakers - Headphone Jack Problem

I have the creative p7800 speakers and on the volume controller it has a port for headphones. When you plugged headphones in it mutes the speakers and plays it through the headphones. However, when i do it the sound is normal in 1 speaker (lets say the right side) and then on the left side it's at about 10%. It wasn't always like this so i figured i just knocked the cable out a little bit so i unplugged it and replugged it in (the volume control) but it still gives me this issue. Any suggestions?

Windows 7 Drivers For An Older Creative Sound Blaster

I just installed 7 on my main rig as a dual boot and i was wondering why they left out drivers for my creative sound blaster live! Platinum with a live drive ir. I have a intel g31 series motherboard and the on board audio to put in plainly sucks. Do drivers exist for this card for windows 7 or do i have to take it out and use the crappy on board audio? This really surprises me as xp picks up the card no problem.

Creative Inspire 7.1 Multi Channel Speaker Problem

Ok well, about a week ago i ordered off for some speakers, creative inspire 7. 1 multi-channel, so they get here and i realize that my sound card doesn't support them (the connections) so today (got speakers yesterday) i go and buy a sound blaster live! Sound card that supports 7. 1. I hook them up and only 2 speakers are working and the subwoofer. I have my computer configured to 7. 1 home theater system so i don't know what the problem is. Everything is hooked up right, all drivers and everything else. Anyone have any idea how to get my other 5 speakers to work?

What Speaker Brand - Altec Lansing, Creative Labs, Logitech, Sony ?

What speaker brand do you like? Altec lansing, creative labs, logitech, sony or cyber acoustics. ? At home i prefer logitech's for my computer. But, i sometimes hook up my computer to my panasonic stereo. As a dj, i use 2 huge panasonic speakers/amps. I know panasonics aren't on the list, but i find them best in quality. Just don't buy bose, overrated and overpriced.
