| 136726 | 2003-04-18 10:49:00 | All the specs for your PC are here (h20015.www2.hp.com). It likely would be OK, as you have an AGP slot and the motherboard will take up to 1 GB of RAM. These units can be fussy, so make sure that you either get it fitted for you by a PC shop, or can take the ram and video card back if there is a conflict. |

| 136729 | 2003-04-19 00:25:00 | um...looking for something tht is reliable, good (not great jus something above average) graphics and is not too expensive or too cheap. Price range $95-$220 michael y |

| 136730 | 2003-04-19 01:24:00 | $225 you might be able to get a geforce 4 Ti/MX or Radeon 9000 - both good cards. I got a Leadtek Geforce 4 Ti4200 128mb ram which rips up. Bit expensive but if you can save worth buying. $330 If you are just doing office work and watching the odd video then Geforce 4 MX will be fine however for games the MX an't worth pi$$ing on, better getting a Ti for games and CAD/3D drawings. |

Interesting that you mention CAD/3D drawings there - to be honest video cards much less than a Ti will do most (if not all) CAD/3D Drawing work just fine - I've never had a hassle... why do you mention CAD specifically?

| 136732 | 2003-04-19 07:03:00 | I find my old Geforce 2, MX-200 does fine on all fronts, high demand games included! | PoWa (203) | ||
