Hi,

 

There are many models/products of ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 850-065 series. Anyway, based on your description you can use a normal 1Gig PCIe card. There are many cards around, 1 port, 2 ports or more. Please make sure it has driver CD or at least it shows you where to get driver (from manufacturer's site).

 

Regards.
