It has an AGP 8x slot so you could install any AGP graphics card and it will preform up to the 8x bus.



Personally I would not waste money on this PC, and consider buying or building a new one.|||That's just it - you can't. Besides, it looks like that PC has been around for a fair while so maybe it's time for a brand new computer.|||Sorry but your computer it too backdated to upgrade to anything diesent.



AM2/AM3 processors these days, along with

Sata drives at 10,000 rpm

8.00GB Ram

2GB of Graphics.. like myself
