Video Upgrade Project

On this page I want to keep track of what people have tried to upgrade their video with on each type of PB motherboard. If you successfully or unsuccessfully upgraded the video with a new card on your Packard Bell then we need your results. Please send results to my email, Please include your motherbord number, your video card you bought and your results.

This chart is based on visitors submissions to my site. The first number is the number of people that have tried to install the particular video card on their system. The second number is the total number of responses I have received.

As you can see there is a large number of video cards, unfortunatly they are not in any kind of order. Sorry, I also don't know much about video cards so I suggest if you need more info try one of the many web sites dedicated to a particular video card. Good luck.

Click Here to submit Data - I need the motherboard number, videocard name and an indication as to if the video card worked or not.

How to read these resutls and what they mean -

A ranking of 0/5 would not be good and this number may reflect the card manufactures lack of proper instructions or a potential problem with that video card and motherboard or five individuals that gave up to easy on the instalation.

Remember the lower the second number the less important are the statistics. The higher the number the more valuble the statistic. These results are only based on submisions to my site and should be used however you see fit. I am doing it for interest only, this chart alone should not be used a sole determing factor when buying a video card. You have to determine your needs, what video chipset is used, price etc...
