Its been a while since I posted (Preety much a year I belive)

I got 2 questions so here it goes

The first one is I bought a computer that has a intergrated 200 Xpress PCI-E GFX card on the site it says I can add another card with it.http://www.ati.com/products/radeonxpress200series/

Can someone tell me if I can or not and If I can hopefully can you give me a good card to go along with it.

The other question is wtf the E drive is not working It was working all of a sudden it stopped anyone know why? Its not reading disk and is becoming annoying...

What are your system specs.

Make sure all plugs are secured in your PC. Double-check the CD-ROM wiring

First off that xpress200 is the onboard graphics. Just because the 200m supports a pci express add on card doesn't mean your board has the expansion slot. Have you opened the case to see if you have a pci express expansion slot? If so then how much do you want to spend on a card?

Edit - Give us the compaq model number.

ya.. i think that one had pci-e.. pretty sure of it.. so you can go balls out on a card as long as you upgrade your power supply unit.. but lemme double check that compy first.. what kind of processor does it have?? i can have a judge off of that.. seeing as i had one of them compaq.. the sr1650nx i think it was

 

[NosBoost300]

ahh... take that back.. i had an sr1850nx.... sorry, maybe you don't got pci-e :x

It does have a pci express slot but the board only says pcie x1 not x16 even though it looks like an x16 slot not an x1 . and x1 slot is only about an inch long. If it was me I would chance it. I am gong to look it up on asus's sight as well
