    Some people can probably tell but can you give me the name of the motherboard? It is made by Trigem but what is the exact thing

    The Newegg GPU seems like your best bet, but your computer specifications doesn't specify which power supply you're using, I would check the wattage on that thing before upgrading.

    Actually I would suggest getting a new mobo. The reason is for about $80 you can get a nice mobo with a 5700 Nvidia intigrated into it, of course you would have to get a new processor (well I'm not exactly sure on that) but it would be worth it for you to do that instead of buying anew Vcard.

    Considering he has only PCI slots, perhaps just a new rig? I know not many people have the money, but it is worth it.

    Here it is
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138264
    It actually has a 6100 onboard, I would get this instead it is much better and only about $10 more. Just get a 939 socket.

    Maybe he isn't tech savvy enough to replace a build a custom or replace a motherboard, seeing as how he bought an HP computer.

    Well it is just as easy as replacing a Vcard once you see how. I would love ot help if I can but his problem is he would have to replace the CPU as well if he changes the mobo. (Meaning install one)

    Well installing a processor isn't that tough, just as easy as a video card, but what you're suggesting is probably out of his price range if he wants to purchase a decent processor.

    Well you have to lock it in and then put a heat sink on it. Hmm you are roght, the processor would cost about $150 to get one that will last for a while (a PR 3200)

    You should consider this one, 6200 PCI for $29.99

    How can u tell it only supports the built in he never said the exact one he has? But now that u mention it when we got one of our Dell ones it didn't support new GPU's either.
