Ever since my laptop died, I've been putting together parts from other
computers in my house to build a good one. The motherboard I have is an
ASUS A8N-LA from a Compaq Presario SR1950NX using the MicroATX form
factor and has integrated nVidia graphics, but has a PCIe x16 slot so
a good graphics card can be inserted. I'm looking at this EVGA GeForce
8400 SL 2GB DDR3 video card with DVI, HDMI, and a VGA input, so I can
still use my current monitor; its only $24.99 after rebate on TigerDirect.
Also, the operating system I'm using is Fedora 19, and the integrated
graphics on the motherboard is a nVidia GeForce 6150. The memory
I have installed is 1GB, but look to expand to 3GB.
So, is it worth it?
