If you find a PCI_E card at Newegg you can probably get the Crucial RAM there as well thus saving to only one shipping charge.

ok Thank you that sounds good anything i need to know other wise can i just put it in my self or what?

Do i need to check the power usage?

i donno what else

As to the RAM it is easy to put in. The manual I posted has detailed instructions.

But that was just the RAM. The graphics card is another issue:

Check for any power minimums.

Also there are two types of monitor connections: DVI and D-SUB.

I am assuming that your monitor is D-SUB so you need a card with a D-SUB port.

Also different manufacturers have different reviews. That Newegg site list customer reviews that are useful to read.

If you narrow it down to a couple or few choices post them back here and we can look at them.

Honestly i know very little about them to me they don't look like they'll fit

I just want the best one for the price pref. a small price...

OK. My choice:

Again in the manual I posted you will see how it fits.

ok i see looks good and just any two 1gb memory cards those are all pretty much the same i would think

They need to be a matched pair for best results.

Plus note the speed and pin socket type as noted in the Crucial scan if you choose a different brand.
