lol I only have 667 mhz celeron with 512mb sdr.. you should do some research on your mother board and see if it supports more than 512mb of ram (you will be limited to sdr)..It seems like your in the same boat as me you computer is gettin a little gray around the edges..you haven't mentioned if you have an agp slot for these graphic cards ..I don't

(have to stick with pci) good luck (you can download great software but when it comes to hardware $$$$&#036

According to this link you don't have an AGP slot and that will limit your choices in video cards.

Yeah except my computer is a refurbished one, and does not look like that at all. And on that site it says that is for computers up to 800 Mhz, mine is 850
mine is different then that so it might support one, not sure

Is it possible for me to take out my 128 SD ram that i have now, and replace it with maybe a 512 DDR?

**johnboy27** · 10-31-2003, 05:07 PM

No you can't.If your board uses only SDRAM than you can only use SD.DDR has a different slot.If you take out your SD you'll notice that there is a cut out in the part of the chip that fits into the board,well DDR has it in a different spot.Your best bet would be to find out how much ram your board will support and than max it out.

well try these links i think they may help seems like your limited to 512 mb sdr not sure about the video card though hp specs and here more search results

**kaiweiler** · 11-01-2003, 03:11 PM

okay, i think i will end up getting 512 SD ram then, if thats the best i can do without upgrading my whole pc.

and do you think my computer could handle: PNY - Verto GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 64MB DDR SDRAM Graphics Card?
