I have a slim-model with an integrated HD video card. Is there any video/graphics card I am able to replace into my SX2801-07e that will improve performance? Where do I find compatible video cards?|||You have a SX2801-07e Gateway Desktop, which has 1 - PCI-E x16, 1 - PCI-E x1 Slot for video cards or other external PCI adapters. You can look at the Slot it uses when you shop for your card, only main concern for compatibility issues are the Slot and also the power consumption. A decent upgrade depending on what your needs are for an adequate price for example would be:
http://www.amazon.com/eVGA-GeForce-8600-Superclocked-Graphics/dp/B000PHABIO/ref=dp_return_2?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics
Makes full use of your x16 PCI slot and also only has a max 43w power draw.(Which almost all power supplies can handle).|||You need a PCI-e x16 slot to upgrade your graphics card; check your manual to see if you have any available. From there you need to find out what kind of PSU you have (specifically how any watts) and how much wattage you have left over to give to a new graphics card.
If this is a laptop, you can't upgrade integrated graphics.
