If my PSU is a standard HP one could this one work or last me up until a year? I need a PSU lower than $50.00 and that will last me at least a year and not fry my mother board.

if you buy a powerful power supply, it won't fry your motherboard. it will use the power that it needs...not too much and overload it.

check the dimensions to see if it'll fit. if HP goes with the standard you should be ok, but if they do their own sizes then it may not fit.

Think a 4770 is amazing? Grab a 5770 and you'll have the performence of a HD 4870/GTX 260. With barely any heat, and uses a lot less power.

that is not true. a gtx 260 beats a 5770. see for yourself: http://www.techspot.com/review/209-ati-radeon-hd-5770/

it may not work. does your current psu have a pci-e power connector? you should really upgrade your power supply if you're gonna use a card like that.

i sold a working 8800 GT to someone on ebay. he is telling me it doesn't work in his computer. he said his old card is a 9400 GT.

i'm guessing either his power supply is too weak or he is not connecting a 6 pin pci-e power cable to the 8800 GT.

i'm trying to help him figure out what the problem is. i know the 8800 GT uses 105 Watts and the 9400 GT uses 50 Watts. And if the 9400 GT doesn't require a power cable connected to it, maybe he doesn't think he needs to connect one to the 8800 GT.

i dunno what ur obsession with DX9 is. i highly doubt a DX11 game is gonna either support DX11 or DX9 and skip DX10 graphics. but anyways, vista is gonna have DX11 too, so you don't need windows 7 to get it.
