its a pavillion....0$-170$....model number? i dont know...a320n? i think

[Bubba Bob]

Yup, that's your model number.

Your best bet is the 6600GT. You should be able to find one in, or slitghtly above your budget.

Also, you should really consider adding more ram. Another 256MB stick should do.

6600GT ? can i do that for my PC, i mean, do i have enough power, enough slots open to put it in....that what i need to know

[Bubba Bob]

Hmm. I havent thought about the PSU. Do you know what your PSU's rated power is? (should be on the side of it)

Yes, you have an AGP slot open.

EDIT:

Here's a couple in your budget.

thank you. which do u reccommend, to get the most out of it. also, idk what power supply is and i dont feel like lookig, actually, i cant right now because i got loads of tuff on t but i will look.

I'd go for the $140 one. THe only difference between them is the brand name.

I can't belive HP doesnt have your PSU rating on their website. Great company....
