hi

9-Oct-2012

you risk making a big expense, for not much
the computer being largely obsolete see may be to replace only a few elements
you have a particular motherboard, and you could install some graphics cards, at least one graphics card can be used in a newer computer then

I tell you what is mentioned possible

for the graphics card it is necessary to take into account the insufficient power supply power, for many graphics cards

• Form factor: Internal ATX
• Total wattage: 300W

here, a model used with another computer
