I have a HP Pavilion a424x Desktop PC and im pretty sure it only has pci slots at least thats all i could find and i was wondering if http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7638292&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01151&id=1130987962366 that graphic card would be worth the money because i dont want to spend a lot on one of if their is something else around that price that would be better.

Well it's PCI. If I were you I'd just buy a new mobo and I can GIVE you my nvidia 6200 when my SLI 6800's come in, which should be about monday or tuesday.

All those graphic cards are usless, i had the shittiest lag ever becuase i still have the same bullshit card wen i brought this $300 peice of shit junk computer. All it took was uber-time F*CKING with my rates and a switch between 3 screens until i found the right one and i am now lag free :). Graphic cards just take away all that trouble that i had to go thru :)

Here the on that im going to get.

Any recommendations for a new mobo then?

cole! take it! its the one u were gonna buy

What slot type is it?

AGP, thats y I told him to just buy a new mobo so he can use the video card I'll give him, and it'll be cheaper if he can tell the difference between whats compatible and whats a good deal. I can help you shop around if you give me your CPU/Socket type, I can get you a good deal.

or I can give you my nvidia 5500 16x AGP.
or an nvidia mx4000 PCI which will push CZ at about 60FPS steady if you have a decent speed CPU;atleast 2.4Ghz.

I have a 2.6 ghz. How do u find the cpu/socket type though? All i could find is this for some specs on it http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=391894&dlc=en&docname=bph07845#N355 Also I was think about getting more ram something like this would work fine right?http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6308131&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01169&id=1074787987929 Thanks a lot for this help too.

Its a socket 478,the fsb is 400 mhz and it uses ddr266 memory.Keep all the things in mind when looking for a motherboard.You should be able to find one for under 50 bucks.Also your current board is a micro motherboard.

For the 200 or so you would spend on that crappy card and memory at best buy you could buy all this and play any game out there.The ram is only 256 but im sure you already have 1 256 stick.
