Does my compaq presario have an extra video card slot?

Question

I am not far to into computers, but i have a Compaq presario SR5030NX that already has an integrated graphics card (Intel graphics media accelerator 950) so even if i have an integrated graphics card already installed, can i get an external one as well?

Answer 1

There is one PCI Express x16 slot available in that model.  You must purchase PCI Express x16 type video cards to upgrade your PC.

Answer 2

Yes you can. The external video cards are actually the best ones and are far superior to integrated video cards. If you are thinking about getting an external video card, make sure you know which slot your motherboard supports(AGP or PCI-Express), and make sure you disable the integrated graphics card in BIOS before you put the external one in.
