http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00739865&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3194521&lang=en Found it. should have looked first then posted this is the specs from the HP web site

not sure what the specs are on the monitor are. It is the stock 19"wide screen (HPw19e). where can I find that info?

I play UT99 a lot and I have UT3 but I do not play it mush because I have on board video and it is not as crisp as is should be so I do not play it much. I do not spend much money on game because my computer does not have the best graphics so I do not play new(er) games on it but I want to make it a good (not the best) gaming unit

thank you for the welcome

I did buy a 500 watt power supply (Antec neo 500) and an Antec 900 case . I know there is room for bigger cards and other thing that would not fit in the stock case. here is the spec. sheet for my computer. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00838772&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN I also put in an X2 4200 CPU and 2 gigs of ram in it for now until the price for ram and the CPU comes down in my price rang. but the video card is my next purchase. I want the best bang for the buck and something to last a long time.

can I put a GeForce8800 in my Compaq SR2173WM it has a PCI Express x16 not PCI Express 2.0 x16 that the card has or should I go with and GeForce8600 in steed for the PCI Express x16 is the same ?

hi everyone. I've been a member for a little bit but never really did anything on the forums.
