[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 727339, member: 29446"] The HP tech told him he already has a 128mb PCI-E low profile card. And memory doesn't = speed. A newer card with a faster GPU will process information faster and not need as much memory as an older card. That being said, 256mb cards are cheap now. And if you read his original post you'll see that one of the reasons he is upgrading is because of his kids playing games. A fairly good option: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162016[/url] You'd have to find out how big your power supply is and how much that card requires. [/QUOTE]
