| 488245 | 2006-09-30 03:53:00 | Hi everyone, a relative of mine has an old HP522a ( 1.7Ghz celeron, 512 pc2100 ram) The onboard graphics died so its currently borrowing my old tnt32mb pci card. He wants to upgrade it with a new card (Powercolor ATI Radeon 9250 PCI (240/400MHz) 128M 64-bit DDR) Told him money would be better spent on a whole new box but the budget wont allow that. To that end will this card work with the current system? Any and all feedback appreciated. Cheers, MtMm:thumbs: |
