Good day,

I was wondering...

I am wanting to by a graphics card for my computer and am not real sure what to look for. I bought one today and the guy said it should work but guess what, it does not fit. The slot is different than the configuration of the card itself.

How do I know what to look for? I know there is a website out there that will tell me all of the upgrades I can do on my system but I cannot remember the address.

I have a HP Pavillion, AMD Athlon 3200, 2.19 GHZ, 448 Ram

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chad
