Which model HP do you have? It's usually printed on the front of the case. There are hundreds of HP machines after all...

The Pavilion a6305.uk features a PCI-Express slot for graphics so basically any decent PCI-Express card should work.

I have this PC also and i am wishing to add a NVIDIA geforce 8500gt to it, only problem is i don't know if it will be compatable, i know the computer has a pcie slot but will the 350w voltage the card requires be a problem?? please can someone help because i dont get much money often and i dont want to waste it

[Titan8990]

The Pavilion a6305.uk only has a PCE-E x1 slot. Those cards are for PCI-E x16. There are not very many PCI-E x1 cards out there. Your best bet will be to either get a new board or get a standard PCI graphics card. They are usually not worth the upgrade.

What games to intend on trying to play?

[Wooboi]

i wanted to play unreal tournament 2004 but i dont think i will be able to now the graphics on the machine at the moment aren't very good, they play counter-strike well but other games are out of the question i suppose

Edit: just noticed that Wooboi isn't the OP.


Wooboi, please create your own thread and I will be happy to assist you. Asking for help in someone else's thread is known has "hijacking" and is frowned upon here.
