Bad Video Card News...
I called HP today, and the guy that helped me out told me that my computer has a PCI slot, and not an AGP. That stinks, because now I found out that all of my research on choosing a video card was now a waste of time. I was planning on the Geforce 4 Ti4200, but that is an AGP. I was told that the PCI cards are slower, and was wondering if the Geforce 4 Ti4200 comes in PCI? Also, is it even worth it to get a PCI card? Someone told me they are slugs compared to the AGP cards. Any good websites for finding some PCI cards? Thanks.

Hi cmink31,
If I remember correctly, the fastest PCI card available is a GeForce4 MX card from PNY. While it's not nearly as fast as the Ti4200, it should still be good for decent gaming. What are the system specs? |

Hmm - yes it is - and it has DDR memory where the GF4 MX420 is SDR - we may have a new performance leader in PCI video cards now. 99 bucks at Newegg, Powercolor powered by ATI.
