P. S. I don't really do any video editing on this computer but I do play games. I'm looking to just upgrade it affordably as I have other, more powerful computers available for heavy duty applications.

I was thinking going up to 2gb or even 4gb DDR5 would be nice but I don't know.

Thanks again!

@Clubware,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I checked the specifications of your computer and below are the expansion slots available on your computer.

• One PCI Express x16
• Three PCI Express x1
• One PCI Express mini card x1

You can install any graphics card which suits the above expansion slots.

Below is the link to the motherboard specifications of your computer.

Hope that answers your question and you have a great day!
