will work with my motherboard?


Will these work? as i have to know before i order them, cuz it's no use if they don't fit into it and then i can't turn it back to the store cuz i have to open to test them.



Thank you

for the gfx card, your motherboard has a pci-e x16 slot and that gfx card you linked to has a pci-e x16 interface, so yes, it will work.

although, for 15 kr more (i'm not familiar with this currency) you could get this card which is better
ASUS RADEON HD4350 512MB DDR2 PCI-E VGA/DVI/HDMI SILENT - Produktinformation

for the cpu, no it doesn't look like it will work. it has the correct socket, but the hp motherboard only supports old pentium and celeron cpus.

What's the difference between the ati and the nvidia graphic card? the only thing i can see in the specifications is that the ati has crossfire support,

and 15 kr ~2 u.s dollars lol ^^

Could you possibly link me to a processor better than; Intel(R) Celeron(R) D Cpu 3,2 Ghz (single core i think)
that will work with my motherboard? (possibly a dual cored one, because they are better than single cored right?)

You most likely have a 840 or 935 pentium D. There is not much you can purchase that would be much better than those and worth the money for your board.

I would save your money for a later mb and cpu upgrade.

You can save a bit here as well.

because it performs better for almost the same price.

take a look at T-F's graphics card list, which will give you an idea of where different cards rank based on their general performance.

you'll see that the card you chose, the 8400gs, is ranked 96th, whereas for what you said is the equivalent of just $2 more, you could that 4350 i found on that site which ranks in at 63.

but it looks like hefe also found a 4350 for cheaper on a different website.

Well.. you should thnk well before upgrading coz it all depends on the purpose of you using your PC.If your upgrading for gaming its sure a poor investment as its more likely to cause a bottleneck using a big Graphic card and a poor CPU. So, its better to know what the purpose of the upgrade else wait a bit more and get yourself a new MB as well a new CPU.
