grandtheft, welcome to the Seven Forums.

Looking at the specs for that HP,

HP Compaq dc5100 Business PCs - North America/Canada QuickSpecs

you are severely limited in what you can put in it. No AGP slot, no PCI-E x16 slot; and only has a couple of PCI slots and a single PCI-E x1 slot. About the best yuo're going to get without breaking the bank is something like this,

Newegg.com - PNY VCG84512D3SPPB GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 64-bit DDR3 PCI HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card

which while being rather on the old side now is still far and away better than the old integrated Intel you're likely using now. That and it also has Windows 7 support.

i agree with what stormy said. i recently ran into audio/visual problems upgrading from vista 32 bit to win xp 64 bit. this ultimately led me to "rebuild" my pc. i didn't like the limitations of old my hardware

You replied to a 14 month old message and the thread is even older, was funny though, because he asked for a reply soon!

Muhahahahaha

Windows 7 on a 1gig of RAM machine is not recommended, to put it mildly.
