Why did you buy one?
They do it because the are in the business of selling cheap rubbish component computers through chain stores to grandma.

Depending upon what your graphic needs are, a PCI slot graphic card (half height or full height depending upon your case) will be an improvement upon onboard graphics. It won't cut the mustard when it comes to the more demanding games though.

433390 2006-02-24 21:19:00 I'll ask a dumb question,

What is an AGP Hole?

i know what an AGP slot is, but i've never heard of an AGP hole, is it the slots in the back of the computer case or is it some thing on the mother board

Compaq aren't great, but they are better than Dell. I spent the last couple of weeks swapping out old compaqs for new Dells, and I was very surprised at the amount of DOA boxes, and how easy it was to overheat the live boxes.
