Detection Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Can't find the exact specs but if it has a PCI-E x16 slot, you should be able to use most modern graphics cards, and so long as you have the needed PSU / power connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeston Veteran Posted December 22, 2012 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well without knowing your location and exact computer model, I'm going to go with some general statements. Most models of the computer appear to have a PCI Express x16 slot, so just about any graphics card should be fine. If you're only doing web browsing and playing music, just get something cheap like this 6570 for $50 or even this 6450 for $40. Edit: Even this 5450 should be fine (only $17 after rebate). Just find something cheap with an HDMI port to make things as easy as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only want a graphics card to connect this computer to a HD tv for light web browsing and playing music These guys are right about the power issue though, if yours is using a small low-wattage PSU . Though, if you get a relatively powerful card, with low-profile specs and which draws power directly though the PCI slot and has no additional conncector you might be fine. So just check on that before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
