ddr on graphic card

[lucky]

one stupid question but does graphic card have ddr ram on it??
the other day i saw a GEforce GTS 64mb DDR and i was wondering if this existed or is it juz a hoax??

and one other question my monitor cant receive the siganl and juz remain blank during boot up and may i know wat are the possible problems causing it beside the graphic card being faulty and that the cable is faulty....... and my monitor is connected to a port soldered to my mobo...if that matters...


thanx

I dont know bout tha monitor thang, but ive got an ASUS V7700 GeForce 2 Pro GTS Deluxe (or something like that), with 64Mb DDR Ram... so its no hoax... its real... the truth is out there...

alot of video cards use ddr memory lately .
and they preform alot better then vid cards with sdram .
if you can get a vidcard with ddr mem for a good price go for it

DDR is no joke on video cards, just like it's no joke on motherboards.
You need to plug the monitor into the video card itself, not the old built in graphics chip. When there's a card present the BIOS will default to using it instead of the built in. When you put the video card in, there should be a 15 pin monitor connector sticking out the back, monitor cable goes into this.

The problem is with my old pc.and the original config is plugging the cable into the port mounted on the mobo.It is a gateway product and it sort of sux..... the other day i opened it to clear a little dust and left it there 4 a few days......as i didn't have time to put it back.now im wondering if there's any problem with the mobo.
this is wat happens when i switch it on

1.Soundless 4 a few seconds
2.beeps two times
3.soundless again
4.beeps once
5.starts to boot(although i plugged out the HDD but it starts reading the floppy drive and does that familiar soound of booting up,so i assume its able to boot.)

anyway.....i changed my original TNT to another graphic card not sure wat as i got it from my bro and i plugged the monitor cable into it and still nothing apppears on the screen.....except the thingie
(ur monitor is working properly check if ur pc is on and
check that the cable is up the ass of ur graphic card or
port on ur mobo)

thanx

Does you mother board have a rectangular post on it with AGP 12V written underneath it, near the graphics port??
