[sykotik]

hi all .....i don't usually verture over to here so please be kind
and i'm completely useless with PC's ...


i'v just got a 4 years pc for a few £$
i'v just put some extra RAM into it (1gb DDR)

and now was wondering if i could put a hd graphics card into it??

it's not a very powerful pc so dont know what to look for,

can any one recommend a suitable card

these my system properties

if it will be any help

also it's running XP pro
and it's a pachard bell pc

i dont want it for gaming
just for viewing hd trailers and getting best picture on my 40in sammy tv


thanks

I'm afraid the windows system properties screen is pretty useless. CPU-Z is a much better bet and the mainboard tab should tell you which graphics interface you've got.

Also, check which type of celeron you've got. If it's a Northwood one then it may not be able to handle HD even with graphics card assistance as they were very slow.

Maybe if you can give your PC model no i can tell you what you need- i've got a £35 hd card going on ebay- you might be in luck
