Want to upgrade my son's computer. He likes to play games on it and has a HD monitor, so would like a graphics card that works well with HD and games.
He has a Lenovo 3000 J105 (type 8258) Model J4U. Really new to this so I am going to list the specs from the Lenovo website.
* Tower (4x4) with VIA K8M800 chipset
* Supports AMD Sempron processor with 128KB or 256KB L2 cache
* Supports AMD Athlon 64 processors with 512KB or 1MB L2 cache
* Supports I/O bus speeds of 1600MHz
* Custom micro-ATX system board design
* AMD 754 socket
Power management
* APM 1.2 and ACPI 1.0b compliant
Power supply
* 250 watt supply with variable fan speed
* 110 volt or 220 volt operation controlled by a switch on the back of the unit
Video
VIA S3 Graphics UniChrome Pro IGP
* 15-pin VGA output on planar
* Dual pixel pipelines
* 128-bit 2D/3D engine
* 200MHz engine clock speed
* 16-64MB shared memory
* MPEG-2 hardware acceleration
Currently using a GF 6200 256MB DDR@ TV DVI (AGP)
Has 1G DDR PC3200 Would like to up the ram but only 1more slot available. Is there a 2G that I could purchase to give me a total of 3G of ram
I just bought a 550G hardrive to put in and would like to know what the best graphics card would be as well as where I could find I stick of 2G DDR.
Hope this is all the information you need. Thank you in advance for your help.
