Upgrading video card for hp a705w

[Adam Murray]

Hey,

I have an HP a705w - See it here - and I wanted to upgrade the graphics card, but I wasn't sure what is supported. Do you guys have any suggestions for around $100-$200? I know my processor is a celeron, but I pretty much just want to be able to play city of heros smoothly.. I'm also thinking about upgrading the ram also, but what would you upgrade first, the ram or the video card?

Thanks!

-Adam

Take a look at the pic of that board - there's no AGP slot. You're restricted to a PCI card, an X1300 is about the best, but still a poor card. I'd recommend upgrading the motherboard.

I'm also thinking about upgrading the ram also, but what would you upgrade first, the ram or the video card?

Assuming you're still using the integrated video, upgrading that should be your first priority.
