[QUOTE="JChance, post: 729937, member: 39342"] Sorry it took so long to get back to this, as I've been out of town for a few days. Using a program called "PC Wizard 2008," I was able to get this info about the video card in the machine- General Information : Manufacturer : Nvidia Corp (Hewlett-Packard Company) Model : NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Bus Type : PCI Total Memory : 128 MB Texture Memory : 825 MB Processor : GeForce 6150 LE Converter : Integrated RAMDAC Refresh Rate (min/max) : 50/75 Hz So according to this, it's integrated to the motherboard, right? But why does it also say that the bus type is PCI? That makes it confusing to me. When I chatted online with HP support, they were the ones that suggested getting a PCI-E Low profile card as an upgrade. If I do this, does the computer automatically recognize the new video card and shut off the integrated one? Or is that something I'd have to configure in the Windows "Device Manager?" Thanks for the help, folks! [/QUOTE]
