Product: Desktop 251-a120
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I know this will never be a top-notch gaming computer, but I was hoping for a little more power than the (as it turns out) YEARS-old AMD card that comes with the system. I'm having trouble finding what card(s) might be compatible if I decide to make the leap and swap. Any tips would be welcome (w/links if possible). - thanks! 

 

(running Win10, 64-bit, single channel architecture - UGH - and can't make changes in the BIOS - DOUBLE UGH)

Hi,

 

The following link shows its specs:

 

    http://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04776557

 

Unfortunately it has NO room for you to add or change video card because:

 

     The motherboard supports the AMD Beema APU only. The processor is not upgradable.

 

Regards.

Oh, GAH. There's no way to increase vRAM in the BIOS either. Thanks anyway...
