Thread: buying a new graphics card

im gonna be buying a new graphics card soon but i need to know whats a good one for about 150$> probably about 200 euro not sure the exchange rate but i need to know whats a good one and where i can get it and also what i need to know to see if it will fit and is compatible with my comp

i know i have an hp compaq which is a very small desktop its about half the size of a normal desktop so im not sure if much more will fit inside havent taken the case off. size wise its about the size of an xbox

lol diesel (hp compaq lmao) sell it and and i'll set u up a shopping cart within any budget/performance u want... if you don't want 2 do that your gonna have 2 post the type of slot you have, the physical amount of space inside the pc (open it up and use a measuring tape), and the watts of your power supply. you either have a pci 2.0 or an agp slot so find out which. if it's pci i know the perfect card for you for exactly 150usd. only thing is, this card is BIG! so assuming your psu is adequate and u have a pci slot you may need to get a new case.

yea this is a damn good computer i just need a new g card so im probably not gonna sell it but ill try and find out what i got

k hurry up, they're having a sale now. you get a free game with the card.
if you can't find the specs yourself just post the model of the pc and i'll check in on the compaq site.

worth more but not more valuable...

not sure what i got now just whatever was on it when i got it from my randfathers company. this computer was designed to handle spreadsheets with tables in excess of 100million items
