Swapping hardware

[Clum-Z-Boy]

I have recently acquired a pretty good deal on a 3GHz HT, 512 Dual SDD RAM PC, but there's one setback: Integrated graphics. I can't insert a "decent" graphics card into the motherboard, seeing as the slots are uncompatible. I've been wondering if it would be possible to keep all of the hardware intact, and only swap out motherboards from my older PC, which ironically, has a GeForce FX 5200.

Please help me out on this one guys, I want my good graphics back!!!

Are you saying the board does not have an AGP or PCI-E slot? That seems hard to beleive

It's true. I can only insert Sound cards, Graphic-card uncompatible

Most likely your older pc's mobo has a different cpu socket. Do you know what the sockets are on both the boards. The new one with the p4 would be either 478 or 775. You could buy a cheap mobo with an agp slot for $50.
