Hp Pavilion Slimline Graphics Card Upgrade?

.how to find a right side video card for my Hp Pavilion Slimline s3020n pc and where to buy it??? thank you|||Well, the only graphics cards which fit in slimline computer are low-profile models, which limits your choices right off the bat. Furthermore, many slimlines have proprietary power supplies which can't be upgraded, so even if you found a really good low-profile card, the computer might not be able to provide enough power for it.



Your best bet is the low-profile Radeon 4650, available online from NewEgg and Amazon for about $55:

It's got decent performance and low power consumption. Like night and day compared to the standard integrated graphics built-in to your computer's motherboard :)



More powerful and expensive low-profile cards do exist (The GeForce 9600GT and amazingly, 9800GT) but those require a power supply upgrade, which may or may not be possible for your particular model.|||I just purchased and installed the MSI Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 Low Profile video card into my HP Slimline s5310y machine (4GB RAM, Athlon II X2 250, Win7 64-bit) to play Portal 2 and LOVE IT. Huge performance boost. Super easy install, everything is smooth. R5450-MD1GD3H/LP Is the Part number.

Part # 5188-7520 Power supply - Regulated 160W power output (Arches)



The Slimline model doesn't have enough power to run a video card. A updrade to 200 watt power supply still isn't enough. No other power supplies fit the Slimline case.|||I suggest the Newegg slimline 9600GT, because it's the fastest slimline PCI-e 16x card available, and only costs about $115. It will work with any decent 400+ watt supply, and will honestly also be safe with the top-flight Seasonic ~300-350 watt mATX units.
