sorry to say, but no it won't, the motherboard in your computer only has 3 PCI slots, and no PCI-E (PCI Express) slots.

No they won't, and if you get a motherbard with a PCI-E slot, you'll have to upgrade your CPU aswell, because no motherboard with a PCI-E slot will have the required socket for your current CPU.

Not realy, I had that same problem with my HP a306x. All you need is a motherboard(that can work with you graphics card and a processor), processor and maybe a PS. And you can get the processor off ebay and the others if you want. Just make sure you no what you doing. If you dontknow nothing about computers, you can just buy a new system or I or someone else can help you build one.

I think you should buy a next system or take the chance in building on. I just looked at the specs of you comp and it suck realy bad. For you to get a faster comp to put you graphics card in you will need this: 1 ATX case, 1 motherboard, 1 processor that will fit in that motherboard, 400W PS, Windows XP Home or pro(pro recommended), 512MB or 1GB RAM that can fit in the motherboard, 80GB or more hard drive and you can use your other stuff like the CD drive etc. I think its best you buy a NEW system and sell the one you have for parts, because you dont look like you want to go frue with all that problem.

OK now you want a core duo, so that means you will need a next mobo. Beacause you cant put that type of processor in a AMD socket.

OK, is it the processor thats killing you(thay are $$$), but if you realy want a intel processor just copy the name of the motherboard and past in on ebay, you might get them cheap and even get a core duo for a 100 bucks. Its your money.

OK, maybe you should go with the AMD, even on ebay the core 2 duo are $$. I would help you with the AMD but I am not a AMD guy. Good luck.
