I'm getting a little bit better at this... apparently, my mobo is an Asus A7N8X-LA which is one that's made, I guess, specifically for HP. As a result, they may/may not do things to it. I'm trying to find out if there's a power supply requirement for this board, but haven't found anything out...

I just spoke to HP and they said I can't change my power supply (250 watts)... they said the motherboard/components are all set to work w/ this supply. Does that sound right? I thought you could update the power supply... if it is right, then it limits me somewhat in my video card search.

Thanks.... I'm taking it then the DiabloTek 6200 isn't worth the time then? Seemed like a good deal at $119 and isn't the 6200 newer than the 5500?

Video Card Dilemma I'm also looking to get a video card... I saw this chain of threads, and it interested me because one of the cards I was looking at it says not to get... I'm way overdue for a video card update (my device manager says MX-440 64mb). I've been looking at 256mb cards, but the...
