    Graphic Card
    I have a hp pavilion slimline desktop s3700f and I can't find what bit I can use. I found 32 bit followed by service pack one and the vista program but I could no find anything for 32 bit graphic cards so I think I made a mistake. What kind of bits can I use for it? I know it has to be low profile because it is slimline. If you find a graphic card or the bit please tell and if any other info about buying graphic cards. Sorry this is not wrote well.

    If you purchase a separate video card, you would need to disable the on-board video adapter that it is using now

    I am looking for a new graphics card. Right now I know I need a 16x and low profile. Does the bit really even matter? I'm looking for a upgrade for gaming and I don't want to buy another computer...

    HP Pavilion Slimline s3700f: Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6 GHz dual core processor.

    Chipset type: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE/nForce 430.

    Video Memory 128 MB

    Expansion Slots Total (Free) 1 ( 0 ) x Processor , 1 ( 0 ) x PCI , 1 ( 1 ) x PCI Express x16 , 2 ( 0 ) x Memory - DIMM 240-pin

    Graphic cards will be measured in Mb's not 32 bit or 64 bit. The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information.

    32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions

    Based on the above specs. Of your desktop, I would suggest that you look for a PCIex16 graphics card. Of course it needs to be sff (small form factor) or there are conversion kits available that convert standard graphic cards to small form factor:
    XFX MA-BK01-LP1K Low Profile Double/Single Bracket Kit at TigerDirect.com

    PCI express 2.0 x 16 graphics cards will also work with PCI express x 16 however, it will be bottlenecked to the 1.0x specification.

    Hope this helps.

    Is Their a way to find out what parts you will need for the new graphic to fit into the back without looking inside or removing the graphics card? I'm not really sure if I need the white one but I do need the blue one to plug into the monitor I think.

    The only (negative) customer comments I noticed were:

    "Cons: If you're purchasing this card to put into a small form factor Acer or Gateway PC, don't bother. The adapter for a SFF pc is a single unit and is backwards as to what will fit in the Gateway and Acer SFF pc's."

    Would suggest you visit mfg's. Website for specific applications.
