Answer 1

any of those cards will work, but you have to upgrade the stock 250w power supply that comes in the system,,



read this, it look like itll take standard power supply

i would stay away from the 9600 and the 5200..and stick to the 7600 or the 2600..also look into the 7900gs/agp

The only thing that matters is the type of interface you have in your motherboard. Do you have AGP or PCI-X? Whatever your motherboard has is the type of interface that you must purchase on your video card. Also, if you have a PCI-X slot, you may need to make sure your power supply is large enough, prolly around 450 on up.



Also, for gaming, I would highly recommend going with NVidia.

NO... the computer model cannot support any type of video card... It would have to be a tower instead of the desktop model.... there is no room for a video card and the only thing that the computer has is an integrated motherboard with video...

As i said before.. you'll waste money trying to install a video card that the motherboard cannot even accept.... it will not work...so.. try and save up to get a new tower computer...

Thats something you might have to look inside your computer to check. Find out if you have AGP slots, what kind of power supply is needed and if you have it. Theres more, just research.
