Help switching graphic cards?
(Gonna list stuff from dxdiag)
HP-Pavilion
Model KQ489AA-ABA s3500f
Processor AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+ (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory 3966MB RAM
***Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 – 1848 MB – Integrated RAMDAC
So my question is, I want to switch my 6150SE to something better. I used to have a sad face, playing League of Legends and before that WoW at 5 FPS! ( I KNOW RIGHT )
Can you guys recommend graphic cards that would be compatible with my computer and are great for gaming. My friend suggested like a 9800GT or something, but I don’t really know computer lingo.
Well thanks if you have answered the questions or not. ;D
HP Pavilion s3500f, is it? The 6150SE is part of the motherboard and cannot be “switched”, it’ll always be in your computer. You have a PCI Express x16 slot on the motherboard that you can use for a new graphics “card” and simply disable the 6150SE.

The problem with those cute little slim tower systems is that they have EXTREMELY limited upgrade potential. You will never be able to use a 9800GT in that system. There’s not enough room inside the case for it and your systems 160W power supply can’t provide enough power for it. A 9800GT requires at least a 400W power supply and there are no 400W power supplies that will fit inside your system.
The first thing you’ll need to do before you add ANY graphics card is to upgrade your power supply, your 160W power supply is barely enough for the system alone.
Here’s a 200W replacement

and here’s a 300W replacement

After you’ve upgraded the power supply you’ll be able to use only a low profile, low power card such as the Radeon HD 5450, it has a max power draw of 20W (one of the lowest power cards I’m aware of).
