Product: Hp Pavilion 8750c
Operating System: Other

I'm wanting to build a retro gaming pc based around my very first desktop, which was an hp pavilion 8750c (with a 600mhz coppermine). I've been unable to find any documentation that would tell me if the old machine supported a video adapter besides the onboard graphics controller. If anyone has any information on this it'd be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

Check out this (Link) for your PC's Intel 810 chipset details.

 

See if you have any open PCI slots on the mainboard (MB) that would support an old Legacy PCI graphics card. This site (Link) shows two free PCI slots on the mainboard. An open slot close to the CPU is probably where you want to install a PCI GPU if you can find one.

Thanks for the link, answers my question perfectly. Doesn't appear this machine has any AGP slots available, unless I'm looking at it wrong. Makes this build difficult to do a retro build with, a lot of those older gpus were agp.
