Thanks for the reply. Its Vista, its an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, 198MB RAM, DirectX 10, and 2 gigs of memory.

Is that a Compaq? My sons pc was the exact same specs, and it was a Compaq. I just went the cheap route, bought him a Athlon x4(2.4ghz), Biostar am3 mobo, 8gb of crucial Ballistix ddr3(1600mhz), gtx460gpu, and a ultra LS 600 watt power supply. I think I spend only around $400, and it's a big difference for him. If you don't wanna do that then just buy a 6670 GPU, increase your ram to 4gb, and cross your fingers.

I have the Biostar MCP6PB M2+. I ended up getting a mini atx case for 20 bucks so I could fit one of my old video cards since it was originally in a low profile case. After getting all put back together and updated it was running great, but I think that has more to do with the Radeon 7770 that I put on it. :)

Yeah, low profile cases makes it difficult. I have a low profile 6670 in my wifes Compaq media pc. I wanna put a Phenom quad in it because it's currently using a Sempron, which sucks, but she just uses it to stream movies, with the occasional web design, so it works for her. It's a am2 mobo, so there are only a few upgrade options. The phenom x3 or x4 is what I'm thinking, just to give her a little bump in performance.

That is exactly what we used it for before too, a media center. It was strictly for the entertainment stand. It was low and fit in with the rest of the consoles and cable boxes. The video worked perfect for the job. I needed to repurchase it for another project, but I needed some 3D horse power, the 6150 was no longer going to cut it.

I came here looking for stats on this chip set. I have a slim computer case and put one of my spare mother boards in it, this board has the 6150 video card built in. So I was looking it it was worth it to find a slim video card, or if this current video card would work. Its level of use would be light 3D gaming. Such as some of the unity games found on Kongregate.
