Unfortunately the model number posted is not complete enough.  There seem to be numerous model 6050's in that model line.  Most have a letter or two behind the 6050.  Assuming there is a PCIx16 slot, a graphics card should not be that hard to come up with after the complete model number is found.

Thanks for the input the serial number is MXG717031D the system number is GC318AV#ABA. If I were to try to find a VGA board do you have any recommendations on who might carry something that is this old? The system was built in 2007.

 

thanks again
